Dear Parents and Community Members The issue of Internet Safety is high on our agenda since we believe that our students require a lot of support to be empowered in striking a balance in the use of this powerful media source. The topic was discussed during Assembly and through the Personal & Social Development (PSD) lessons. The meeting for parents, dealt with the issue from a different perspective. The emphasis was on creating an awareness of the potential risks, at various levels, when young people are exposed to Internet without parental guidance. A recent study conducted on a national level, has clearly demonstrated, that heavy media users are more likely to perform poorly in their studies. Multitasking - reading, while listening to mu-sic and browsing the internet - has to be also addressed since it is directly linked to the issue. Needless to say that gaming is another phenomenon that requires to be tackled. The solution is surely not to isolate or restrict our students from the different types of media. On the contrary we need to work together, educators and parents, to empower our children to benefit from the unlimited opportunities of modern technology.
Best Regards,
Mr George Psaila Headmaster

Dear Colleagues, Parents & Students
Thank you so much for promoting the Crèche collection of items with the boys during the past
two weeks and for your contribution.
I managed to fill around 10 packed boxes and bags of food, milk and nappies for the Crèche
children.
When I took the boxes to one of the helpers of the Crèche she was dumbfounded with joy at the
sight of so many boxes. This is all thanks to you and the boys. Thanks to all the boys and their
parents.
The presentation of the items will take place shortly and some pictures will be uploaded on the
gazette.
If there are any other items brought in by Wednesday 14 December please forward them to me
in order to co-ordinate their delivery.
Have a great holiday.
Warm regards
Denise Papagiorcopolo

St Edward’s College will once again be organising "Midnight Mass" (in English) at
College.
Mass will be celebrated by Fr Sacco at 21:30 in order to allow for the possibility for
our younger members of the congregation to also attend.
A procession with live animals accompanied by the boys’ Christmas choir will be held
up to the chapel and will start at 21:00.
Mulled wine, mince pies, tea and coffee will be served at the canteen after Mass.
Bring your family and friends along and come and join us for the procession to the
chapel.
We look forward to seeing you all there.

Dear Parents
The after-schools Programme for Sports has not yet begun apart from Tennis which is being held
on a Thursday. For Swimming we have eleven applicants and this will begin in January. Unfortu-
nately, the other sports do not have enough applicants for the activities to be feasible.
If we do not get any more applicants by next week, we will return the cheques.
Thanks and kind regards,
Anne Tabone
Head of Junior School
