And that's just the children! On Wednesday, 1st February, Year 4 took themselves off to the Athenaion Cinema in Athens to participate in a 3-D interactive programme all about wildlife in Greece. They learned about the animals and their habitats as part of the children's current unit of study in Science.

The children responded ever so enthusiastically to the experience and answered many questions on the topics explored.  Our little experts did so well in fact, that Nicholas Giannopolous and Leo Droggitis excelled themselves, winning first place out of the three schools who attended the show.

All in all, it was a highly entertaining and super informative experience for these young scientists who are growing up to have an excellent awareness of real-life issues are of relevance to them here in Greece.

Parent – Teacher meeting for Years 7 – 10

On Thursday 26th January, the St Lawrence College boys' basketball team participated in a tournament for Years 7 & 8, hosted by Campion School. Four international schools of Athens participated and our boys triumphed, as they won all three games, getting 1st place!

As always, we are extremely proud, and will see them on the courts again soon.

The pitter patter of little paws were audible in the Early Years section of the Junior School on Friday 27th January at another exciting pet day for our youngest pupils. The children were eager to touch their new found furry friends and they enthusiastically learned how to act sensibly in front of unfamiliar creatures.

Goldie the fish swam in circles - well what else does a fish do? Sarah the cat arched her back as she was gently stroked, and the dogs, Uma and Alvin, were happy to make friends as their wagging tails showed. A caring touch is indeed a welcome touch for man and beast alike!

Find out what it means to me! Well that's what the classes of KS2 were able to do on Friday, 27th January, when Ms Bondiotis' Year 3 class treated everyone to an entertaining performance about the need to respect other people. They took the audience of fellow pupils and family members through a scenario where the awful Mr Rude had to learn an important lesson about why it was so important to treat others as you'd want them to treat you. He changed his mind in the end, didn't he?

What a super job the class did of showing us the way to behave!

In this week’s Senior School assemblies, pupils had the opportunity to learn about the turtle conservation work undertaken by the NGO, Archelon over the last 30 years. Mrs Anthoula, the Archelon Education officer, spoke about the challenges that these Mediterranean sea creatures face. She told them about the importance of NGOs having volunteers and it was inspiring to see our older pupils’ eagerness to sign up to assist this charity in their free time. Also, Sadin Abdul Fattah presented Mrs Anthoula with 520 euros that our pupils and staff had raised by running 5km and 10km races on the day on the Athens marathon in November. These funds will help to contribute towards the rehabilitation and care of the injured sea turtles that currently reside in Glyfada.
