This month, a presentation was held for Year 1 and 2 by our School Psychologist, Ms. Theodora Constantinou. The event focused on the importance of positive self-talk, and how it can help students overcome negative thoughts that can impact their mental health. The students were engaged in a video presentation and an interactive game that reinforced the importance of positive thinking.

“I am incredibly proud of our students for their excellent behaviour and active participation during the ‘positive self-talk’ presentation. Their enthusiasm and willingness to learn were truly inspiring, and I have no doubt that they will use what they learned to enhance their well-being and success in the future.” – Theodora Constantinou, Med High Psychologist.

Our students also had the chance of visiting Auschwitz, the biggest Nazi Concentration camp during World War II.

‘Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it’. – George Santayana, philosopher.

The students also had the chance of visiting the Wieliczka Salt mine, the biggest one in Europe where the goal set by the miners working there is to preserve for future generations and make available to the public the monument to the history and culture of the Polish nation, a unique monument to the world’s natural and technical heritage and a place of worship.

A well-organized trip by the Mathematics Department where the students had the chance of doing very valuable activities outside of the classroom, creating unforgettable memories with their classmates and teachers.

Congratulations to all! You have made our school once again PROUD!

This year, Med High students also participated in the Kangourou Maths competition earlier this month in Pagkiprio Lyceum, Larnaca. The results have not yet been released.

We are thrilled to share with you the success of our recent Book Day celebration in our Pre-School. The event was a wonderful opportunity for our little ones to explore the world of books and literature.

At our Pre-School, we believe that early literacy skills are essential for future academic success. We are committed to providing a nurturing environment that encourages a love of reading and learning in our students.

The parade celebrating the Greek Independence Day on March 25, saw 77 Med High Students proudly marching on Finikoudes, Larnaca.

Our top three students with the highest overall grades from Year 6 got to hold the flags and proudly represent our school, they are:

• Stefanie Fanou (Med High Emblem Flag)
• Rojina Emamipana (Greek Flag)
• Ahmed Derawi (Cypriot Flag)

The Junior School to High School Transition Presentation on March 29th was a great success, as Ms. Efrosini Georgiou, head of the English Department, and Mr. Steve provided valuable information for our Grade 6 students and parents. Ms. Maria, the Grade 6 teacher, praised the presentation, stating that “the children were hanging on to every word Ms. Effie said, and asked valid questions”.

We are excited to support our Grade 6 students as they prepare to transition to the Year 1 class.

We are delighted to share the success of our recent Science Fair, held at the end of this month. This year’s event had a unique theme centred around saving our planet, which was especially relevant given the current climate change crisis and its impact on humans and animals alike. The aim was to showcase that science, maths, and engineering can provide solutions to these challenges.

The Science Fair was an opportunity for our students to explore different scientific concepts and ideas in a fun and engaging way. We are incredibly proud of our students for their hard work and ability to explain scientific concepts in easily understandable ways, making it an educational and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

Mrs. Koulla Andronikou, our Head of Science and Biology, oversaw the event from its inception, adding at the end that, “It was really exciting to see the research that has gone into some of these projects, but also the creativeness not only in what they’ve produced but also in the topics they’ve found.

Many of our children realised how important it is to explain and describe scientific concepts in easy and understandable ways, making this event a great success!”

We look forward to seeing what our students will achieve in future Science Fairs and how they will contribute to making our world a better place.
