The Heritage Private School

☀️ Year 3 enjoyed a day out at Meso Potamos, immersing themselves in nature and making the most of our beautiful local surroundings. Splitting into two groups, one set of budding geographers hiked to a stunning waterfall, using compasses to create sketch maps and bringing their classroom learning to life. Meanwhile, the other group engaged in team-building activities, including den building alongside the river. Students were treated to delicious ice cream at the end of a wonderful day filled with adventure, fresh air and friendship!

🔭Our Year 5 students had an incredible day at the Troodos Observatory, where they learned about the solar system, explored meteorites, visited the telescope dome, and discovered how astronomers study the night sky. A huge thank you to the Troodos Observatory team for such a fantastic and memorable visit.

🎨 Our annual Art Exhibition was a wonderful success, attracting students, parents/guardians, and visitors from Limassol and beyond. Our Head of Art, Ms Sheila Wright, praised the A Level work for its refreshing, varied, and highly creative qualities, highlighting the inventive thinking displayed by all exhibitors. Visitors and external moderator Ms Jacinta Appleby were particularly impressed by the professionally produced ceramics featured in the A Level exhibits. Ms Appleby also commended the diversity and quality of student work across all levels, with special recognition given to several students whose sophisticated digital film and animation projects stood out this year. A special thank you to Ms Sheila Wright, Ms Joanna Georghadjis and Ms Yiota Peratikou for their invaluable contribution in supporting and inspiring students across all year groups, helping to make the exhibition such a memorable event.

Our Academic Advisers delivered an informative Year 12 Higher Education Presentation, providing students and parents/guardians with valuable guidance on the university application process. The session covered important information, key timelines, and essential deadlines that students will need to follow carefully during Year 13. Thank you to everyone who attended and engaged in this important step towards future academic success.

🇫🇷 We are extremely proud to announce that two Heritage students have been recognised in the prestigious AMOPA « Plaisir d’écrire » International Competition 2025–2026.
In the category « L’œuvre d’art au fil des mots » Première, Angelina Da Rosa (Year 12) received 1st Prize for her text « Dans un café (ou L’Absinthe) », inspired by the work of Edgar Degas, while Emmerson Clamp (Year 11), received 1st Prize in the category « L’œuvre d’art au fil des mots » Seconde for « Bal Moulin de la Galette », inspired by the painting by Auguste Renoir.
This achievement is especially significant for Cyprus. As a small country competing alongside students from French-speaking countries, this success highlights the creativity and talent of our students. It also reflects the strength of French language education at our School and the importance of cultural exchange through literature and art. Congratulations to Angelina and Emmerson, and we thank our Head of French, Ms Anna Potey, who guided and inspired the students throughout this journey. Bravo à tous!

Our Pottery Club students had an amazing time glazing their pottery pieces at Pantehis Pottery Studio. It was a fun and educational experience, and everyone enjoyed bringing their creations to life with colour and creativity. We can’t wait to see the finished glazed ceramics and celebrate their hard work and artistic growth!

At the annual Cyprus Inter-Schools Cricket Tournament at Happy Valley, Episkopi, both our Primary School boys’ and girls’ teams delivered outstanding performances — winning every group match against Episkopi, Akrotiri, and Foleys. The girls finished as impressive runners-up after a thrilling final, narrowly losing to Episkopi by just 7 runs. The boys went one step further, lifting the trophy after a dramatic final against Akrotiri, sealed by an incredible final-over hat-trick from Zain Rizvi! All students represented the School with exceptional sportsmanship, teamwork, and grace throughout the tournament. 👏

Our Amphitheatre was filled with excitement, music and unforgettable surprises as our Primary and Secondary students gathered for what they believed was a routine photo session - only to discover it was all part of a very special surprise visit from Cyprus’ Eurovision 2026 star, Antigoni.
As Year 12 student Zoe Charalambous was performing the beloved “Chrysoprasino Fyllo” by Mikis Theodorakis, Antigoni’s voice suddenly joined in harmony from off stage before she appeared in the amphitheatre, creating a magical moment that left students and staff cheering in amazement.
Antigoni spoke warmly with our students, while our Year 4 classes delighted her with a performance of her Eurovision song “Jalla”, which they have been preparing for their upcoming end-of-year ceremony. She then performed the song herself, with the entire amphitheatre singing along and celebrating together.
Our Executive Head, Elena Smilas, reflected on the significance of the occasion, speaking about the fulfilment of dreams - both for one of our alumni, Mikaela Smilas, who has been part of Antigoni’s Eurovision team, and for Antigoni herself. She encouraged all students to work hard, believe in themselves and follow their dreams with passion and determination.
The visit continued with a special stop at the Early Years Building, where Antigoni surprised our youngest students and teachers, bringing even more joy and emotion to an already memorable morning.
The Heritage Private School warmly thanks Antigoni and her team for taking the time out of their very hectic Cyprus visit schedule to give the students and staff such a wonderful and uplifting morning.
