Ninety-three years ago, an agreement was reached by the then Governor of Malta Sir John Philip Ducane and A group of eminent philanthropists headed by Sir Augustus Bartolo. This agreement marked the birth of St Edward’s College. Since that time, the 18th of January has been regarded by the college as Foundation day.
Thanks to the tireless work of Baroness Margaret Strickland, Governor DuCane was prevailed upon to commandeer the then Cottonera Hospital and the adjoining St Clements’s Bastions for the use of a boys college. This was modelled n the British Public School system. Almost 100 years on, this mission with a vision expanded from 29 boys to 700.
Happy Birthday St Edward’s College!
