ICSEI 2022
ICSEI 2022 Dr Esmeralda Zerafa, Head Designate Junior Years, and Mr Francesco Nicodeme, Creative and Expressive Arts teacher, presented at the International Congress for School Improvement and Effectiveness (ICSEI) today. Their presentation focused on how cross-curricular links between the expressive arts and other learning areas provided enriching opportunities for developing our 8Cs, specifically pupil creativity, despite the COVID-19 regulations abided by during post-lockdown days. Our efforts to transform CHSMC into a Professional Learning Community through collaborative professionalism in the past years have made it possible for our educators to collaboratively plan for multi-disciplinary learning opportunities that pupils could actively participate in whether attending physical schooling or our Virtual Academy.

Juvenes Translatores
Juvenes Translatores Filippa Gauci and Matthew Cremona, two students studying Maltese at Advanced level at St Martin’s College Sixth Form, yesterday participated in Juvenes Translatores, a translation competition organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Translation. The aim of this contest is to promote multilingualism and intercultural understanding, as well as encourage students to consider a career in translation. The students’ teacher of Maltese, Ms Mandy Tabone, ably helped them to prepare for this contest.
Nationalities Exhibition
Nationalities Exhibition In celebration of the many different nationalities that form part of our community at St Martin’s College, a ‘Nationalities Exhibition’ was organised. Students from each nationality set up a stand which consisted of their national flag, three traditional items representative of their cultural heritage and the word Hello written in the native language. Throughout the week, teachers accompanied their students to visit the exhibition and were offered an explanation of the various items present. Students showed enthusiasm, interest and commitment and the results were excellent. We thank all parents and guardians for their wonderful support. As a college we believe that the many different cultures forming part of our community bring so much to the holistic experience offered to our learners.
World Children’s Day
World Children’s Day In celebration of World Children’s Day, pupils at Chiswick House School have participated in several activities. Last Friday Ms Audrey passed on the following message to our Early Years pupils: ‘Happy Children’s Day! The whole world wishes to thank you children for all that you bring with you! As children you have rights; many things that you deserve; health, time to play and learn, and a family. At school we are your family and we do our best to provide you with a safe space to learn, play and grow. We thank you because you are the future of our country and seeing you, listening to you and watching you grow reassures all of us as adults at Chiswick House School that we will have a bright and beautiful future ahead of us!’ Thank You! This wonderful message was followed by music in which pupils were encouraged to get up and dance. So sorry we don't have many pics of this fun moment but all of us were busy grooving to a celebratory jig!
