Sixth Form Outdoor Activity

Sixth Form Outdoor Activity Over the midterm holidays, a group of Sixth Form students and their teachers, took a welcome break from their lessons and spent some refreshing time outdoors. This was done in a very responsible manner while strictly adhering to mandatory standards issued by the health authorities. Students walked to Lippija Tower and Gnejna and remained in the same small group throughout the morning. This activity was organized to encourage students to put down their phones and reduce screen time, as well as to responsibly interact with friends while resetting the rhythms of their daily lives.

NACE

NACE Ms Barbara Firth, the National Association for Able Children in Education, U.K. (NACE) consultant for St Martin's College, visited the school virtually and assessed the progress being made. Her focus was on the work being done by the school to assist Higher Achievers in reaching their potential. Her report was very encouraging, identifying our many areas of growth and highlighting our on-going improvements. These improvements are fast becoming a whole school approach to teaching and learning, which will benefit all students, not only Higher Achievers. It is also a ray of hope in these difficult times. We are energized by the impact it is having on our learners and how it continues to fuel our resolve to extend our variety of teaching and learning strategies to suit current needs.

Learners’ Achievements

Learners’ Achievements At St Martin’s College we believe in the full support and celebration of our learners’ achievements in all fields, even in non-formal and informal education. This year we have started to present an award to the student who has shown consistent and strong levels of achievement throughout the years while keeping up with the in-school academic commitment at the same time. Our first award this year went to Ms Valentina Marchi who graduated Level 11 this July and who showed an incredible level of achievement in the discipline of synchronised swimming for many years. This discipline requires many hours of daily training and thus makes the added effort of keeping up with the academic side that much harder. Valentina did this excellently, with a smile and successfully. We wish her every success in synchronised swimming and her studies and thank her for being an inspiration to many young learners aspiring to be as gifted and talented as she is. WELL DONE VALE!
