It was buses and planes as we began our incredible journey!  The children were brilliant as we worked our way through Larnaca airport and Athens airport en route to Rome. Lots of excitement, of course, but for a very good reason! 

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!

Recently, the Y2 cohort visited the Leventis Art Gallery. After studying portraits in Term 1, the children visited the gallery to admire various forms of art and focused on paintings by the famous artist Renoir. The children also had the opportunity to visit the art workshop where, using various art techniques and materials, they produced their own masterpieces.

An educational and fun morning was had by all!

For the second consecutive year, our school organized and sent 22 students from KS3 and KS4 on a ski trip to Crans-Montana, Switzerland. Under the guidance and supervision of Mr. Glyki and Ms. Masonou, the students had a successful and memorable experience.

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.

For the third year in a row, our KS3/4 MUN students attended the 20th ACMUN Conference in Thessaloniki, representing the USA and South Africa. A huge congratulations to our ambassadors Philippos Carneiro Leao (USA) and Renee Strouthou (South Africa), who had their clauses included in the final General Assembly resolution! And an extra round of applause to Stephanos Artemis for winning the Best Delegate Award in C40 Cities!

Our students debated, negotiated, and made an unforgettable impression at the conference!

A big thank you to Mrs. Natalie Shaka and Mr. Nicholas Shiaxiate, our KS3/4 MUN Coordinator, for accompanying and supporting our team throughout this incredible experience.

Well done to all participants—you made our school proud!

Check out our brilliant teachers and pupils rocking the festive spirit with creative costumes and endless enthusiasm! Everyone helped make this celebration unforgettable - from the colourful decorations to the fun activities that filled our corridors with laughter. The energy was contagious as our school community came together for this special day. So many wonderful memories captured in these moments of pure fun and excitement!

We are excited to share that three of our students achieved outstanding results at the prestigious Young CEO Challenge - Business Simulation, held under the patronage of the Embassy of Switzerland in Cyprus.
