St Edward’s College has, once again, received a high award and great accolades for its practice of subsidiarity and democratic principles.
On the 9th of November student council members Miguel Aquilina and Richard Wang attended “The Student Councils Democracy Awards” at the Aġenzija Żgħażagħ premises in St Venera. The award ceremony celebrated the practice of democratic values at school level and highlighted the
importance of more student led activities as well as the involvement of students in decision making. Such a programme is offered for all secondary schools and post-secondary institutions. Some 200 students from over 20 schools, and their teachers and Aġenzija Żgħażagħ youth workers, worked to making their school a more democratic place, and were presented with awards for their merit.
Five schools received Bronze awards, 11 schools were awarded Silver, and 4 schools got the Gold award for their commitment, work and effort. This was the third year that St Edward’s College has taken part in this programme and has received the Silver Award. The Minister for Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation, Dr Clifton Grima had a short chat with our students about their work done at St Edward’s College.
