Gozitan students show their artistic talents Students practised art and pottery-making in their school breaks to nurture their skills and explore new creative techniques

What started as a quiet moment of sowing seeds in class has grown into something truly beautiful. Today, those same plants are thriving in our community garden, attracting bees, inspiring curiosity and bringing people together. 🐝💛

The Sow Grow Unite Community Garden, created in collaboration with Gozo General Hospital, is now in its second year and has been recognised as one of the best LEAF projects!

This space has become so much more than a garden. It’s a living classroom, a meeting point, a place where generations learn side by side. From sowing to transplanting to observing bees joyfully pollinating the blooms, every step is a lesson in patience, care and community.

We also carried out a small experiment to see where strawberries grow best. Since we don’t have soil at school, the students planted the strawberries in peat bags and placed them in different locations around the school; one in full sun, one in partial shade and one indoors by a sunny window. Over the weeks they compared how each plant grew and discussed which conditions helped the strawberries thrive.

Together, we’re rediscovering our connection with the earth and each other 💚

Today brought a magical moment to our school grounds! Malta is currently witnessing thousands of butterflies migrating from Africa to Europe and our very own pollinator garden, created through the GLOBE Bloom and Buzz Project and the LEAF programme, became a tiny but powerful stopover for these incredible travellers.

While watering the plants, our Eco-Schools link teacher spotted several butterflies enjoying the space. Even though our garden is small and surrounded by tall buildings, it’s clearly doing exactly what it was designed to do - attract pollinators and support biodiversity.

No action is too small to create change and today, nature proved it 🦋💚

🎨✨ JOURNEYS – A Celebration of Creativity ✨🎨
We are proud to present “JOURNEYS – A Celebration of Creativity”, an inspiring exhibition showcasing the artistic achievements of students at Gozo College Agius De Soldanis Middle School throughout this scholastic year.

The exhibition features a diverse collection of artworks created during art lessons, alongside exceptional pieces produced by students participating in the Art and Pottery Clubs. These clubs, led by Head of Art Department Lino Xerri and Art Teacher Victor Agius, provided valuable opportunities for students to further explore their creativity beyond the classroom during recreational breaks. An audio-visual presentation showing the creative voyage of the students is also part of the exhibition.

Hosted in the school hall, the exhibition benefits from professional stage lighting, creating a vibrant atmosphere that highlights the students’ talent and dedication.

The exhibition was officially launched on 5 June during a special interdisciplinary event featuring performances by our talented music and dance students, under the guidance of Head of Music Department Mr Mark Gauci and SCDP Dance Teacher Sarah Clare Saliba. We were also honoured by the presence of Education Officer Dr Charmaine Zammit, who shared inspiring words with those attending.

🌟 The exhibition is open to the public by appointment.
🖼️ A special curatorial tour will also be organised in the coming days.
Come and celebrate the creativity, imagination, and artistic journey of our students!

Students from various secondary schools across Malta recently came together for an exciting educational event called "Un martedì italiano", a celebration of the Italian language and culture designed especially for Year 7 students. Throughout the day, students enthusiastically participated in a variety of interactive games, quizzes, and team challenges that tested their knowledge of Italian vocabulary, traditions, food, music, and geography. The activity also gave students the opportunity to meet new friends from different schools while developing their communication and teamwork skills in a fun and engaging environment. "Un martedì italiano" proved to be a memorable experience for everyone involved, encouraging a greater appreciation for the Italian language and culture through learning, collaboration, and friendly competition.
