As parents and educators, we set great store by formal learning. Indeed, that is a measurable quantum that benchmarks achievement for our children. It is a good thing, to be sure. However, there are other aspects of learning which are not taught in a formal way but are nonetheless crucial. Aspects such as fairness, sharing, […]
Children, all children are perfect because they are unspoilt by life. Their happy faces lit up the college in this the first week of school when their laughter (and perhaps some tears), their energy and their unconditional joie de vivre gave everyone, including the stately buildings themselves a new lease of life. These young lads […]
What distinguishes a culture from civilisation is its ability to communicate and transmit information accurately to posterity. The Vikings were not merely a culture but a sophisticated civilisation with working literature based on runes.

The firefighters talked about safety measures and made sure that children remember 112 as an emergency number. For the youngest children, it was a very exciting visit as they could […]
Summer fun at SEC is not just for fun but also for education. Our students engage in various activities which promote educational values. One of them, ‘Saving Our Blue’ campaign organised by the Ministry for the Environment Climate Change and Planning, has started this week. The main aim of the campaign is to help build […]
As the Summer term drew to a close, the students in Year 11 came to the end of their obligatory schooling. To be sure, no one who wants to make headway will stop their schooling short at the age of 16, but, their years at St Edward’s were up. Most of these boys have been […]
