😍 Wheelie whiteboards are wonderful for our modular classroom set up, and here is our latest addition!

💙 Heartfelt thanks to the Embassy of Ireland in Malta for this extremely helpful donation, as well as the additional bags of useful goodies, including traditional Irish nibbles and tea!

👻🎃😱 Look who rocked up to class this morning!

ℹTeaching about cultural events helps students understand cultural diversity, history, and the evolution of traditions, and T-Rex was a fun and engaging way to teach about Halloween in a cultural context.

We often call for donations of drinking water, so we were absolutely delighted when Phil from Tapp Water Malta contacted us to say he was sending us this nifty appliance!

ℹ With this easy to install filter system, we've said goodbye to plastic waste and hello to sustainable hydration!
