  • A Visit from ActionAid Hellas

    Published 27/04/23

    On February 9th, we had the pleasure of welcoming to our school, two representatives from ActionAid Hellas, Dr. Nefeli Paparisteidi and Ms. Giouli Megagianni. ActionAid considers education and lifelong learning as key tools in addressing poverty and injustice and as such invests in education so as to nurture active citizens capable of striving for a fairer world for all. The purpose of the visit was to introduce the project Financial Literacy in Cyprus and to promote financial education in both primary and secondary educational institutions as well as to link it to active citizenship through teacher training.

    The Senior School already is a pioneer in embedding Financial Literacy into our curriculum in the 6th Form but we hope to be able to collaborate with ActionAid Hellas to not only develop own resources and training in the field but also to work towards developing programmes in younger age groups.

  • HAPPY EASTER AND HAPPY RESURRECTION!

    Published 25/04/23

    Children in Pre-primary (Reception) and Early Years engaged in Easter customs as part of their Greek lesson. In particular, the pre-primary children, among others, had the opportunity to watch the process of preparing the traditional "flaouna" by a representative of the Zorbas Bakeries. The children also followed the steps to prepare their own, and the process was completed with the children eating ready-made ''flaounes''!

    In addition, the Early Years children proceeded to prepare the traditional "kattimeri", with the teachers explaining the preparation process and actively involving them so that each child could make their own.

    Published 07/04/23

    An historical event took place on Saturday, 18th March at The Senior School, Cyprus as the first ever International History Bee & Bowl tournament took place. Whilst thunderstorms took place outside, inside primary and secondary students pitted their knowledge on History against each other from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The Senior School had 5 teams taking part, The Junior School 1 team and Pascal, Lemesos 1 team. David and Nolwenn Madden flew in from the USA to host the competition at The Senior School.

    Many rounds took place and the students had to be very quick on the buzzer; there was palpable excitement in the air, especially for the tightly fought final rounds. ‘Bee’ competitions also took place for Geography and Science. All Junior & Senior School teams qualified to take part in the European Championships in Barcelona in June! Well done to the History department at Senior School and for all who took part; it was truly a great experience.
