Movement Week
Movement Week Last week we celebrated Movement Week at Chiswick House School. The aim of Movement Week is to further promote the importance of exercise, a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. All classes from Bumble Bees to Level 5 participated in several activities planned throughout the week. Activities included short movement breaks held in class every day throughout the week, dance sessions led by College of Dance Instructors, basketball sessions led by Depiro, handball sessions led by Sports Malta Coaches as well as a Skipping Rope session led by an instructor. A massive thank you to all staff who organised this wonderful week. Keep up the great work and may the positive energy from Movement Week continue to inspire healthy habits among the pupils and staff.

The festivals consisted of a number of races (shoe race, sack race, 3-legged race and target games) and ended with the most loved and popular tug-of-war. We look forward to our Level 7 Sports Fest being held on Friday. Well done to all!

A record number of 110 stalls representing 40 different nationalities were set up and traditional food items sold. We would like to thank all students and parents for their contribution in baking and preparing these delicious traditional foods. The theme of this year's fair was ‘One School, One Community’
Green Wall
Green Wall The ‘green wall’ in the SMC Sixth Form common room has been given some TLC. The last 2 rows of the wall will be entrusted to our Gardening Break Club. They will be experimenting with different plants to see which grow best there. We look forward to seeing their green fingers at work. The idea of a 'green wall' was originally proposed by our students themselves during the design phase of our Sixth Form area. An ongoing commitment to offer great learning spaces for our students.
#OutdoorClassroomDay
#OutdoorClassroomDay Our Early Years, Junior Years and Middle School celebrated #OutdoorClassroomDay last week! They joined over one million children across the globe to celebrate this day by taking their learning sessions in various outdoor locations. These outdoor learning experiences give children the opportunity to think independently, enhance their social skills, cooperation, communication, and problem-solving in a natural environment.
Olive Picking
Olive Picking A successful olive picking event was organised by Mr Paul Galea - EkoSkola coordinator. Staff members and students were invited to help pick the olives on our St Martin’s College grounds. The olives have now been pressed and converted into 4 litres of delicious olive oil which will be used for various school activities throughout the year. Well done!
