St Martin’s College Gymnasium Refurbishment

St Martin's College Gymnasium Refurbishment We are proud to announce the total refurbishment of our College gym – works were done through the Christmas holidays. The lighting in the gym has been upgraded from metal halide to LEDs which emit better and brighter lighting with no sound pollution and also help save on electricity consumption. The gym ceiling was whitewashed and vibrant blues were chosen to brighten up the walls. The sub-floor was treated with Damp Proof Membrane and Self-Levelling before the actual Tarkett Omnisports Pure Play 9.4mm rubber flooring was installed. The Sport flooring (EN 14904 CERTIFIED) is approved by International Sports Federations and offers extreme protection (integrated cushion for protection in the case of a fall), optimal safety (protect players against potential friction burn), comfort (adapted shock absorption levels for all ages, weights and levels of play) and sports performance (good energy return, consistent level of ball bounce and better grip). Installation of the lines for the different sports activities followed the installation of the flooring. Please let us all respect the safety instructions to protect the flooring as much as possible.

Promoting Efficacy in Schools

Promoting Efficacy in Schools We are very proud to announce that Chiswick House School was selected to showcase their excellent practice in the second National seminar ‘Promoting Efficacy in Schools’. This initiative which was organised by the Ministry of Education focused on sharing examples of excellent teaching and learning practices that were observed by inspectors which form part of the Quality Assurance Department (QAD) during their external reviews held in different schools in Malta and Gozo. Ms Audrey Fenech Adami, Senior Leader at CHS, was chosen to share her experiences on a panel with other Heads of Schools. The main focus of her contribution focused on quality leadership in schools. Ms Paula Scicluna, Level leader Bumble Bees, was also asked to be part of another panel which consisted of teachers who shared quality practice within the teaching and learning sphere. The QAD also presented a video which was launched at the seminar which captures some excellent examples of Chiswick House School’s educational vision and how this unfolds within its classrooms, the school environment and within the community. The Quality Assurance Department (QAD) is set to nurture and monitor a quality holistic educational provision in Maltese compulsory schooling, which seeks to assist all individuals, irrespective of socio-economic, cultural, racial, ethnic, religious, gender and sexual status, to achieve their own full potential and reach personal fulfilment through lifelong learning, participation in the world of work and active citizenship in a democratic society.
