Euroscola
News or Event Title A group of four students from St Martin’s College Sixth Form participated in this month’s session of Euroscola. This session was all the more special because it was led from Strasbourg by Dr Roberta Metsola, Vice President of the European Parliament and MEP for Malta. Dr Metsola answered a number of questions that were put to her by some of the hundreds of students taking part online from all over Europe. Hannah Ciantar, Nil Geren, Elena Meccariello and Dora Varadi actively prepared for this session and, via live conferencing, asked Dr Metsola a question focusing on the impact of COVID-19 on education.
Art and Design
Art and Design As part of the Level 11 Art & Design programme, students discussed street art and the work by Banksy, the anonymous artist. Students had the opportunity to share ideas about global issues, terrorism, political authority and capitalism. They then created their own stencils and sprayed graffiti art to decorate the Senior School corridors throughout the final weeks before the Christmas break.
