The highlight of the trip was visiting the workshop, where the children were given the opportunity to use a variety of materials to draw their own portraits.

It was a very educational and fun learning experience!

To culminate, we celebrated accepting differences with ‘Odd Sock Day’. The whole school gathered to sing together and listened to the wise words of Mr Penintaex from the ''One Dream One Wish'' association, who shared the incredible work the association does to support children battling cancer, leukaemia and other haematological diseases.

We were delighted to have raised over 700 euro for the cause.

Once again, our community showed empathy, care and support to those in need.

Thank you to the whole Junior School community for your kindness and generosity!

Over 8,000 students play across 5 live games that cross time zones and continents to take part in a collaborative, competitive live event!

We are thrilled to announce that our students not only remained on the leader board throughout the 35 questions but overall placed in the top 5 out of almost 2,000 students and became the overall winners for the whole game:

• Rodothea - 1st place
• Mia - 2nd place
• Neophytos - 4th place

We are so proud of all our students for their collaborative effort in winning the Kahoot cup. Congratulations!

This year’s overall winner of Founders’ Day 2025 was Christodoulides House – congratulations to all team members on their outstanding achievement!

The House Captains, Sports Captains and their Vice-Captains did an excellent job organising and motivating their teams throughout the day, showcasing exceptional leadership and enthusiasm.

A special thank you goes to our Music Department, whose energy and creativity added an extra groove to the entire event.

The day’s success was made possible through the fantastic organisation of the PE Department and the support of all staff members, whose teamwork helped make this celebration a truly memorable one for everyone involved.

They created dramatic recreations of Victorian photographs and they even baked Victoria sponge cupcakes with cream and jam! A truly immersive step back in time!

Our team won second place and was awarded the Silver Medal in the Cyprus Lyceums category. Captained by Zian (Y11), Alexandros (Y10), Michail (Y9), and Marios (Y7), our school’s team participated in the competition for the very first time. Michail also won the 3rd Chess Board Best Player Award.

Congratulations on their amazing achievement, and many thanks to the Chess Federation for the opportunity to compete. 

After learning how to order food in French in class, they put their language skills to the test—ordering in French and enjoying delicious treats alongside classmates and teachers.

A fun and tasty way to bring learning to life!

Then came the grand finale: our Year 13s went out in true SSL style—from hiking and lunching in Platres, to chanting loud and proud outside school the next morning, welcoming parents, staff, and fellow students.

Plenty of laughs at our alternative teacher awards for students, followed by a lovely brunch with our amazing teachers.

T-shirt signing, pool splashing, the final bell… and one unforgettable #SSL25 chant to close the chapter.

We'll miss you, Class of SSL25!

This remarkable achievement highlights her dedication, hard work, and exceptional skills in the French language. We are incredibly proud of her success and the determination she displayed throughout the competition.

Please join us in congratulating Maria for this outstanding accomplishment!

With half an hour of practice in class and optional time at home, their dedication truly paid off! The Junior School placed 47th globally and an incredible 2nd in our region – a huge achievement that reflects their hard work and enthusiasm.

We're so proud of their determination and can't wait for next year's challenge!

His film UNFILTERED will be screened at all K Cineplex cinemas across Cyprus for 3 months!

Congratulations, George!

Rome - Days 1 & 2 We visited the majestic Colosseum in the sunshine, where the children were in awe.  We finished our authentic Italian pizza  for lunch, then headed to the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. We were treated to the majestic Vatican Museum and St Peter's Basilica. We just missed the King and Queen of England who were also visiting!

The children walked through Rome, across The Tiber and enjoyed the beauty of the Spanish Steps and the glorious Trevi fountains.

Naples - Days 3 & 4 After lunch we made our way to Naples for even more delights! This morning we visited Pompeii. Did you know the Pompeii ruins are spelt with double 'i' but modern day Pompei is spelt with just the one! Also, there are 45 fountains around the ruins which were labelled using various motifs. These were used as reference points. So the Romans would say 'Meet you at the 'Bull' or see you at the 'Ox'! Not too different from us nearly 2000 years later!

We then headed to Herculaneum which is closer to Vesuvius. The views across the Bay of Naples are stunning, reminding us of home. Once again the weather was just glorious. We commenced our walking tour of Naples.

A Trip to Remember The children have been so well behaved which has filled us with pride! Thank you Italy and JS Y6 - you've been amazing!

The highlight of the day was a visit from a school parent (Mr. Michael Michaelides) who graciously shared with our students what it was like to be born and raised in Australia.

The children went home with their very own clay boomerang which they had sculpted and painted in Art and many great memories of a fun filled and educational day!

An educational and fun morning was had by all!

It’s been wonderful to see their confidence grow through outdoor learning—we are excited to see what our little Rangers get up to next week!

This trip will undoubtedly remain unforgettable, as they gained valuable experiences and developed new skills while skiing in the Swiss Alps for a week under the instruction of experienced ski instructors.
