Today is the eve of a public holiday in Malta. This morning, we had parents' day at school. This gave the students two consecutive days of holidays. The students were at liberty to come to school with their parents/ guardians, to be able to show them around our school, which is quite huge.
At half past eight in the morning, the school was buzzing. Parents swarmed in to talk to the year teachers, subject teachers and also to meet me, as the assistant head in charge of the year 9s. The atmosphere was very festive, with Christmas music softly playing in the corridors, a stall selling traditional Maltese Christmas goodies and another stall selling brand new books at very low prices, amongst others.
Whilst roaming the corridor, the feedback from the parents was overwhelming. The comments varied from, what a nice school, what a happy atmosphere, how clean the place is. Others thanked me for my efforts and for taking care of their children, and how happy were their sons/daughters to be attending this school. There were also the problematic cases, some of which will be discussed in future blogs, and which I tackled discreetly in my office
It was my first time experiencing Parents' Day as a member of the SMT. It was a truly wonderful experience. The day passed way too soon!
