The night started with Holy Mass, kindly celebrated by Fr Lawrence Essery. This was followed by the certificate and prize giving ceremony in which we celebrated our students’ successes and achievements.  This is the time when the attributes and qualities of our students are highlighted and rewarded. Prizes and certificates were presented by Ms Bernie Mizzi, CHSMC Director. We enjoyed the speeches given by our students, namely Michael Spiteri Staines, Annah Chapelle Paleologo, Philip Azzopardi and Krista Muscat along with the delightful performances of  Aleksa Andrejevic, Franky Attard, Saskia Cassingena, Anne Grima and Cristina Hili with their impressive performances. We would like to thank all staff, parents and students who attended, as well as all those who helped in the organisation of such a memorable event. Finally, we must express our appreciation and awe at yet another wonderful performance by our Level 11  students in their  interpretation of 'Macbeth' in the ACCS film project ‘Scorpion Mind’. A truly professional production! Towards the end of the evening, student Amy Mallia’s photo presentation provided moments of nostalgia to all present.
