St Martin’s Sixth Form School Leaving Ceremony
St Martin's Sixth Form School Leaving Ceremony St Martin’s College Sixth Form recently celebrated its annual school leaving ceremony, when Level 13 students received certificates and special awards. These were presented to the students in the presence of their families and College staff. The ceremony marks a very important milestone in the students’ lives just before they move on to tertiary education. Mr Anthony Abela, Senior Leader Sixth Form, explained how St Martin’s College strives to provide the best possible learning opportunities for all its students. The combination of tailored attention that each student receives, the support received from parents as well as the hard work students put in to achieve their goals, ensures success. He also stressed the importance of lifelong learning. Congratulations to all Level 13 students!

Further and Higher Education in France
Further and Higher Education in France A group of students from St Martin’s College Sixth Form recently attended a conference at the University of Malta on the opportunities of further and higher education in France. The conference was organised by the French Embassy in Malta and the University of Malta. A representative of Campus France, the French agency responsible for the promotion of international mobility in France, presented several reasons why students should choose to study in France. Apart from offering a world class education, Universities in France are reasonably-priced and many courses are also state-funded. Students may read for their bachelor, master or doctorate degree in a wide variety of subjects ranging from art and architecture to medicine and law. Many of these courses are being offered in English, thus eliminating the language barrier for students who have a fair knowledge of French. The International Office at the UoM explained the ERAMUS project and the benefits for students taking on the opportunity to spend a whole semester studying in a foreign university. The conference ended with the testimonials of three Maltese students who have studied/worked in France. This gave our students a clear vision of what challenges youngsters may face but also all the opportunities that come with such an experience in France. After the conference, participants were invited to taste typical French “viennoiseries” which our students truly enjoyed. Students were accompanied by Ms Karen Camilleri, teacher of French at St Martin’s College Sixth Form.

Cambridge Literary Festival
Cambridge Literary Festival As part of our commitment to ongoing and meaningful professional development, a group of teachers from our English team along with Ms Bernie Mizzi, attended the Cambridge Literary Festival. The visit reflects the efforts of our College to encourage a love of reading and our belief in the importance of chronicling human experience even through fiction. The author-led sessions inspired a critical consideration of how wonderful works of fiction can lead to growth and learning in the classroom.
