On the week 11 to 14 of March, all Junior school students and staff had the opportunity to celebrate mathematics in a more entertaining way! They took part in activities at the main hall, where their arithmetic skills were challenged along with their geometric perception. A bit of luck was also needed in some games as well as the artist within, since students had also to play games including dice challenges and bingo, but also to draw "scary" numbers or geometric shapes!

Nice fairytales with a mathematic background were available for them to read and many more activities took place within their own classrooms at their teachers initiative. We all had a blast and eventually wore t-shirts with numbers or shapes on the last day, on Pi day the 14/3! π (pi).

We are thrilled to announce a momentous achievement for our student company, 'Encased,' (customizable, durable and sustainable phone cases) as they soar into the top 10 highest-scoring teams in the esteemed Junior Achievement Cyprus Company Programme. Following an exhilarating Trade Fair held on April 3rd and April 4th at The Mall of Cyprus, where over 300 students aged 15-18 showcased their entrepreneurial talents, 'Encased' stood out among 44 student companies from 30 schools across Cyprus. The dedication, innovation, and hard work demonstrated by our exceptional team have rightfully earned them this prestigious recognition. Their commitment to excellence and entrepreneurial spirit have propelled them to this remarkable milestone, reflecting their outstanding capabilities and potential.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the brilliant minds behind 'Encased': Alex Theodorou, Pavlos Bismal, Rebecca Petrou, Emily Kyriakides, Mark Anderson, and Charis Chrisanthou. We also extend our sincere appreciation to the mentors and guides who have played an instrumental role in nurturing and shaping the talents of our students. Special thanks to their teachers, Mr. Marios Afantitis and Mr. Nicholas Shiaxiate for their invaluable support, guidance, and encouragement throughout this journey.

As we celebrate this remarkable achievement, we eagerly anticipate the grand finale and Awards' Ceremony of the Company of the Year Competition 2024. Save the date for the Finale and Awards' Ceremony, set to take place on Friday, April 26th, at the Royal Hall Nicosia. Let's come together to celebrate excellence, innovation, and the bright future ahead for our outstanding students.

Congratulations to our incredible Global Perspectives students! During Humanities week, they decided to donate the money raised for their bake sale to Step Up Stop Slavery, a Cyprus-based NGO committed to disrupting the business model of slavery. The organisation supports victims of human trafficking as well as other forms of captivity or slavery. Their passion and dedication to making a difference in the world truly shines through. Keep inspiring change and being a beacon of hope!

Our Ski Trip 2024 in Crans Montana, Switzerland was an unforgettable experience for our students! They had an amazing time on the slopes, enjoying the stunning views and perfecting their skiing skills. But that's not all - they also had the opportunity to participate in a variety of exciting activities including ice skating, laser tag, dodgeball, music games, disco night, bowling, bonfire gatherings, and even a cinema night under the stars!

One of the highlights was the visit to a cheese and chocolate factory, where they learned about the production process and got to taste some delicious Swiss treats. A big thank you to all the students for their enthusiasm and positive energy throughout the trip! Here's to more adventures and memories to come!

On the 25th of March, the Senior School participated in the national parade which took place in Nicosia accomplished by Mr Vyrides. We celebrated the revolution of the Greeks against Ottoman Empire in 1821. The school was represented by 40 students whose conduct represented the ethos of the school! Well done to all boys and girls and of course their teacher.
