This year’s Prize Giving Ceremony
coincided with the Holy Week. Due to
this it was deemed fit to produce the annual musical related to these
festivities.
St. Patrick’s Drama Group is
quite familiar with biblical themes. In
the past the group produced musicals such as Cain and Abel, Moses, Joseph and
Noah’s Ark. This year’s production was
entitled Rega’ Sebah which depicted the passion of Jesus. It was an ambitious project considering that
the amount of time available for rehearsals was quite limited with the many
activities we have throughout the year.
However, this lack of time was not evident, neither in the acting nor in
the set. The effort of the workshop
group was clearly visible. Special
thanks go also to Ms Rose Caruana for making the show realistic by her
sartorial talents. It was no easy task
to prepare over 30 made to measure costumes.
The evening continued with the
distribution of prizes and school leaving certificates. These were handed by Dr. James J Calleja,
Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Employment and the Family. Mr. Calleja praised the efforts done by the
Salesian Community and staff and was pleasantly surprised with the high
standard of the production.
The evening came to an end with a
well deserved farewell party to our school leavers. It was sad to see them go but on the other
hand that is our lot; to care, educate and finally to let loose.
