Dingli Primary School Students participate in the Young Reporters for the Environment Competition 2023/2024

Posted on by

As per previous years, Dingli Primary School is taking part in the Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) programme. Ms Nathalie’s and Ms Michaela’s students researched sustainable, environmental issues that are worrying them, in their school, locality or elsewhere. These concerns are all linked to one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals that the students are learning about and exploring in class. The students investigated these issues, provided solutions and reported what’s happening through photos and articles. Their aim is to disseminate and raise public awareness. These entries will be submitted for participation in the the YRE competition.

Our students’ articles have been collated together in the eBook below – Just click on the link below to read it on the Story Jumper Website:

Learning Leadership for Change: Erasmus+ Project at St. Nicholas College

Posted on by

For the past three years, St. Nicholas College has participated in the Erasmus+ Project, Leadership for Change. The Project brought together schools from Malta, Belgium, Italy, Portugal and Spain.

screenshot l2cThe Learning Leadership for Change (L2C) project aims to move towards shared leadership, fostering a new culture in schools in which teachers, students and potentially parents willingly take responsibility for leadership in the school community. Evidence from research indeed shows that collaborative decision- making processes in schools can positively affect students’ learning. The project then encourages the dissemination and mainstreaming of school leadership-innovative practices and effective networking through capacity-building (self-assessment, training and sharing of best practices) within three key areas linked to the strategic development of the school: STEM education, Innovative use of ICT in teaching and Digital Citizenship.

For more information about the project, you can download the Project Leaflet and A4 Poster in PDF format. You may also email Amanda Debattista, contact person at St. Nicholas College, at amanda.debattista.ilearn.edu.mt.
