Crazy Hair and Doughnut Day

What a joyful day, hip-hip-hooray!

Off to school in our own fun way.

No uniforms here, just colours galore,

With wild, crazy hair like never before!

First half-term’s done, so let’s celebrate,

With laughter and smiles, the feeling is great.

And what’s the cherry, the final treat?

A sweet, soft doughnut—delicious and neat!

ADHD Awareness Day

A vibrant wave of orange filled Ġużè Aquilina Sannat Primary School and Special Unit as students, teachers, and staff united to raise awareness about ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). This colourful event aimed to promote understanding and empathy for individuals with ADHD, encouraging everyone in the school community to learn more about the condition. Students and staff proudly wore orange as a symbol of their support, emphasizing the importance of inclusion and acceptance for all students, regardless of their unique challenges.

During the assembly, we spoke about inclusivity and the value of supporting each other. We highlighted the achievements of important personalities with ADHD, sharing their stories to inspire resilience and perseverance. These individuals, who succeeded despite their challenges, reminded students of the strength in embracing differences and pursuing their dreams with determination.🧡

Happy retirement to headmistress Ms Pauline and welcome to the new headmistress Ms Mary Jane Camilleri

 And finally, the staff of Ġuże` Aquilina Sannat Primary and Special Unit bid a heartfelt farewell to their headmistress of 10 years. In a symbolic gesture, they witnessed the passing of the leadership role, represented by the school bell, to the new headmistress. We extend our warmest wishes for a happy and relaxing retirement to Ms. Pauline Grech who has dedicated a decade of her life to the school. Her commitment and leadership have left a lasting impact on both students and staff. We also offer our best wishes for success to the new headmistress Ms Mary Jane Camilleri in her journey to lead the school into the future.

Students bid a farewell to their headmistress Ms Pauline Grech

Today, we gathered to celebrate an extraordinary person, someone who has dedicated the last ten years of her life to tirelessly serving our students. Ms. Pauline Grech has worked with unwavering commitment, showing love and care to every single student she encountered. Her passion for their well-being was evident in everything she did. Ensuring the safety and success of our students, particularly the most vulnerable, was her top priority, and nothing—no obstacle or challenge—ever stood in her way. She was a fierce advocate, always going the extra mile to make a difference.

Today, we come together to express our deep gratitude for every word of encouragement, every compassionate gesture, and every moment of support she has given over the years. Her impact on our school community is immeasurable, and her absence will surely be felt by both staff and students alike.

Thank you, Ms. Pauline, for your dedication, kindness, and tireless efforts. You will be profoundly missed, but your legacy will live on in the countless lives you’ve touched. Wishing you all the best as you embark on your well-deserved retirement.

Mental Health Awareness Day

On this Mental Health Awareness Day, let’s take a moment to reflect on the importance of mental well-being. Mental health is as vital as physical health, yet it’s often overlooked or stigmatized. Today, let’s remind ourselves and others that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Whether through therapy, support from friends, or personal practices like mindfulness, taking care of our mental health is essential. Reach out, check in with loved ones, and remember, it’s okay not to be okay. Together, we can break the silence and create a world where mental health matters for all. 💚

Dyslexia Awareness Day

On this Dyslexia Awareness Day, let’s take a moment to recognize the unique strengths and creativity of individuals with dyslexia. Dyslexia is not a limitation, but a different way of processing the world. By raising awareness, fostering understanding, and offering support, we can create a more inclusive environment where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

St. Francis of Assisi – Blessing of Our Pets

In occasion of the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, we celebrated the Blessing of Our Pets during this morning’s assembly. Our students brought all kinds of pets, such as dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, ponies, fish, and even an exotic reptile. Others brought photos of their pets. We encourage our students to care for their pets and all animals with kindness and respect.

Welcome back, students!

We’re excited to begin a new school year filled with learning, growth, and fun. This year is a fresh start—a chance to explore new ideas, challenge yourselves, and achieve great things. All of us are here to support you every step of the way. Let’s make it an unforgettable year! 2024/2025
