December is a busy month for the students and staff at St.
Patrick’s Salesian School. A section of
the students along with member of the staff would be busy rehearsing for the
Pantomime.
Taking advantage of the
general festive feeling, the rest of the students along with the staff enjoyed a
number of educational excursions.
This
year we visited the Ghammieri Farm, the police museum of crime along with the
dog section and lastly a cook out at San Brinkaw cave, Gharghur. During the whole week a Xmas tournament was
also held.
Meanwhile the rehearsals were going at full swing and this
effort was evident on Thursday evening.
This year we were treated to a philanthropic though rather careless Dr.
Jekyll and his violent counterpart Mr. Hyde.
In good panto tradition the evil matron , Mr Hyde’s accomplice got what
she deserved. Mr. Hyde disappeared and Dr. Jekyll got
engaged to the beautiful nurse. A
heartfelt well done to our young actors who did their best to give us a pleasant
evening.
To mark the end of the school first term in the appropriate
spirit we celebrated mass with the traditional sermon delivered by our youngest
student, Ryan Montesin. This year we
also had budding musicians from Sannat Gozo who helped us to animate the mass.
The
day came to an end with the school party which culminated with the award giving
ceremony for the winner of the Xmas
tournament. However, in true Salesian
spirit, all students received a gift.
The gift is a token showing that we are all winners. And thus on this vein the first school term
came to an end.
