As part of our emergent curriculum on the topic “Ġanni l-Bidwi,” the children had the exciting opportunity to meet his wife, Ġanna. Their faces lit up with surprise and excitement as she arrived, with some pupils eager to ask her questions. Ġanna brought along a variety of fruits and vegetables that can be harvested from […]
Almost two weeks into the scholastic year and the summer holidays seem like the days of ages past. For adults, time travels at a speed different to that experienced by children.

The College sponsored walk was back today, much to the relief of all. Even with some of the restrictions off, the logistics of arranging this well-loved event and making it a success was a headache for all concerned: teachers, heads of sections, sports department, Covid co-ordinator and parents. However, we did manage to pull it […]
It’s that time of year again when potatoes go into the ground. No one can do this better than our gardener, the ever-patient Joe. In his inimitable way, Joe explained to the children how the potatoes are prepared for seeding, then how, when in the ground they sprout and how to take care of the […]

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 […]

For this reason, at St Edward’s College, we place great stress on the physical well-being of children, and our extensive grounds help in this respect. Our KG 1 […]
