Junior 2 Outing

stcathmssilvana — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:56:11 +0000

Dear Parents/Guardians,
The educational outing to the Bird Park Malta in Burmarrad, which unfortunately had to be cancelled due to bad weather, is being rescheduled to Friday 24th February. The outing includes a visit to the aviary collection which includes different species of birds as well as a number of wild animals not usually seen in Malta.
For those of you who have not paid yet, may I remind you that the fee is of €7.00 which includes the entrance fee, the transport and a donation of €1.00 towards the Park itself.
The outing will only take place weather permitting. Should the outing be cancelled the students will have school as usual on our premises. Thus, it is extremely important that students still bring with them their books for the Friday timetable.
Whilst thanking you in advance, please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any query.
Sincerely yours,

Brian Gauci School Coordinator

Holy Communion Celebration for the Junior 2s

stcathmssilvana — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:00:14 +0000

“Dear fellow parents,

As you know, our little ones will be celebrating their First Holy Communion in June time. It has become practice at St. Catherine’s High School that the parents group up (obviously this is entirely optional!) and organise one party for the children together and their families and teachers and admin of St. Catherine’s, rather than have single parties for each child. This is entirely organised by the parents and has over the years been a beautiful celebration for all the children.

As such, I am taking the plunge, as a parent, to ask you all whether you would be:

a) interested in participating in this party … this obviously would incur a cost per ticket, and

b) interested in being part of the working group who will get quotes from hotels or other reception venues and see to the organisation of the event.

I hope we can come together as a group to organise this beautiful event for our children. Kindly send me your reply and/or interest in being part of the group on my email address – sue.mifsud.midolo@stcatherines.eu

I thank you all for your attention. Best regards,

Sue Mifsud Midolo (mummy of Faye Mifsud Midolo)

Helping our Community

Helping our Community

As 2012 kicks off, at St. Catherine’s High School we are busy thinking of how to continue to better the educational journey we offer our students.

Part of the educational journey of every student involves helping children become aware of their involvement in the world, and the role they too can play in making the world a better place.

To this effect, we are currently thinking of ways to help our children become sensitive to the needs of the community they belong to …. whether it is the needs of their fellow friends, their class as a space, their families, their town/village, their country, and their world.

We are thus thinking of how to create a Pastoral Dimension in our Junior School and would like to ask the participation of parents in this regard. Thus, if you have some time and you would like to be part of a working group which serves as a Pastoral Think-Tank on ideas to implement with our children to sensitize them to the community around them, you are kindly requested to send an email to Ms. Sue Mifsud Midolo on sue.mifsud.midolo@stcatherines.eu expressing your interest to participate in this group.

In the meantime, we will be taking part, together with the Senior School in the School Outreach Programme offered by the Jesuit Refugee Service to bring awareness about refugees in Malta. The Senior students next Tuesday will be having a day with the JRS here at school and are in the process of collecting money to aid the JRS in their work. The Junior School will be organising a similar day in the coming weeks but in the meantime, we are asking students to donate a can of polpa, tuna, vegetables, a cereal box, pasta to aid the JRS as they help refugees in thier day to day wellbeing. Students are to bring these cans, packets, boxes to school by not later than Monday 16th January since we will be presenting them to the JRS on Tuesday 17th January. They are to give the items to their class teachers.

I urge you all to help us educate our children to make this world a better place by being children who are empathic to the needs of others … and thus also learning how to become sensitive leaders of tomorrow!

I thank you for your co-operation!

Ms. Sue Mifsud Midolo

stcathmssilvana — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 07:15:12 +0000

Dear parents and children,

I thank you all for the great support you have given me during the concert. The children performed to the best of their ability and made this a truly wonderful evening for everyone. The teachers and administration work hard but we really enjoy putting up this show for you. I am so proud of my Junior 2A students, you really never fail to surprise me, you were simply awesome. Well done to everyone. This is what Christmas is all about, coming together as a big family.

I take this opportunity to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
