The post Celebrating Erasmus+ Days During Our Online Assembly 🇪🇺🌍 appeared first on St. Jeanne Antide College.

The session began with a warm welcome from College Principal Sr Melissa, who greeted all members of staff and encouraged everyone to look forward to another year of shared learning, growth and commitment to our pupils.

Head of School Ms Marion Cutajar then introduced the School Development Plan for the new scholastic year, presenting the priorities and areas for development that will guide our work throughout the year. The session provided an opportunity for staff to reflect on our achievements, consider areas where we can continue to grow and, most importantly, work together towards our shared goals.

The day continued with a series of collaborative workshops led by Deputy Head Ms Antonella Vancell, Ms Janelle and Ms Marionne. Staff worked together on the development of our action plans, discussing ideas, identifying practical steps and considering how our priorities can be translated into meaningful actions within our school community.

? Taking the SDP outdoors was a deliberate choice. As a school, we increasingly recognise the value of learning beyond the traditional classroom and the positive impact that natural surroundings can have on creativity, collaboration and wellbeing. Being outdoors provided a refreshing environment in which staff could think, share ideas and work together in a different setting.

The meeting was not simply about planning for the year ahead. It was also about building a shared vision, strengthening teamwork and ensuring that every member of staff has a role in moving our school forward.

As we embark on another scholastic year, we look forward to putting our plans into action and continuing our journey of learning, innovation and continuous improvement.

? A new year, a shared vision and a team ready to grow together.

We Love to Learn and Learn to Love. ❤️

Our school community recently came together to celebrate the beautiful occasion of First Holy Communion. It was a joyful and meaningful day, marking an important milestone in the faith journey of our pupils.

The celebration was filled with prayer, reflection and gratitude as the children received the Eucharist for the first time. Family members, teachers and friends joined us in supporting and celebrating this special moment, making it a truly memorable occasion for everyone.

We are incredibly proud of our pupils for the dedication and reverence they showed throughout their preparation and during the celebration. Their enthusiasm and faith were evident, creating an atmosphere of warmth and joy.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our Chaplain, educators, staff and parents for their guidance, encouragement and support in helping the children prepare for this significant sacrament.

May this special day inspire our First Communicants to continue growing in faith, kindness and love as they journey forward with Christ. We congratulate all our pupils and wish them God’s abundant blessings today and always.

The concert provided an opportunity for pupils to demonstrate the skills and confidence they have developed throughout the year while celebrating the friendships, achievements and memorable experiences shared within our school community. Families, staff and guests enjoyed an evening filled with enthusiasm, joy and a strong sense of pride in the accomplishments of our young learners.

A particularly special moment during the event was the recognition of two members of staff who have dedicated more than 25 years of service to our school. College Principal Sr Melissa Damico thanked Ms Marion Cutajar and Ms Karen

have played a vital role in shaping generations of students and contributing to the continued success of the school. Their commitment, professionalism and unwavering dedication were acknowledged through the presentation of commemorative awards.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all staff members, students, parents and volunteers whose efforts contributed to the success of the concert. Special thanks go to the teachers and support staff who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to prepare the performances and ensure a memorable experience for everyone involved.

As we conclude another rewarding year, we celebrate not only our students’ achievements but also the dedication of the staff who continue to make our school a nurturing and inspiring place of learning.

We wish all members of our school community a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer break and look forward to welcoming everyone back for another exciting year ahead.
