Wasalna! Bdejna! Eċċellenza, Onorevoli, Sinjuri, Wasalna! Bdejna! Illum verament ġurnata storika għall-Kulleġġ Missjunarju ta’ San Pawl.  Il-ftuħ uffiċjali tal-Iskola Primarja tal-Kulleġġ tagħna hija ġrajja li ċertament se nibqgħu niftakruha sakemm jibqa’ jeżisti dan il-Kulleġġ. Illum tasal fi tmiemha l-ewwel fażi tal-binja tal-Iskola Primarja tal-Kulleġġ tagħna.  Din kienet il-binja fiżika.  Fadal it-tieni fażi, li  nbdiet meta daħlu l-ewwel studenti fil-Junior 1 u Junior 4 f’Settembru li għadda. Din hija l-fażi tal-edukazzjoni, formazzjoni u binja tal-karattru.

Prize Day Musical It has now become a tradition … SPMC students and staff working together to produce another in a series of musicals that included The Lion King, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, The Prince of Egypt, and Oliver. In 2011, it was ALADIN.  Ms Clara Azzopardi directed, Ms Carmen Deguara conducted the school ensamble, and Mr Kenneth Camilleri was responsible for stage operations.  About 130 students and staff were involved in this production.  Two performances were enjoyed by students from various schools. It was another day to remember.

The Sports Day is certainly one of the highlights of the scholastic year. Many students, who have been training for the past months, are eager to participate and compete in track and field events. Each student may participate in a maximum of three events. The Sports Day is usually held in May at the Marsa Sports Grounds. Medals and awards are distributed.

The College is very active throughout the whole year and organises several events for the all the stakeholders: students, parents and staff. In view of the demand for such events where we can all meet in an informal atmosphere, share a hearty meal, catch up, and share experiences, two barbeques are organised on the school grounds during the summer months. The first BBQ is held right after the annual examinations.  It’s a time to celebrate.  Certainly for the students and parents, but maybe not for the teachers as yet! Another BBQ,  held during the last weekend of August,  sees the College community…

One of the four major events for the scholastic year is the Form 5 Graduation which takes place at the beginning of June. It is certainly a time to thank God for all the opportunities and challenges these 16-year olds have gone through during the five years at the College.  Believe it or not, five years pass by very quickly… maybe because the student  is working and having fun! Students and parents have the opportunity to show their appreciation to the staff and administration for the holistic development: spiritual, academic and intellectual, physical, psychological and social.  Younger students are inspired by their older colleagues’ achievements. We…

Another major event held during the scholastic year is the traditional Christmas End-of-Term Activity, held on the evening of the last day of school before the Christmas recess. Students under the guidance of their teachers, have the opportunity to show off their talents, developed as part of a holistic education, in acting, singing and music, while celebrating the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ at Christmastime. The programme concludes with a modest reception prepared by parents for all the family, where warm wishes are exchanged for the festive season.
