Not Hogwarts

Proving the efficient transportation system within the flower stems, the Year 3Y students managed to turn white flowers blue. Harry Potter? Nope, just science!

Geometricalfun

When we think about Maths what comes to mind might be old wrinkly Pythagoras who also used a tablet with clay though, to teach his students the basics of geometry and other mathematical formulas! Yet at St Edward’s and more specifically in the Middle School with Ms Malani, our boys use their electronic tablets, mobile phones and laptops to take part in interactive quizzes to revise geometric principles and directed numbers. The excitement could be felt in the air as the questions popped up on the board. The boys worked in pairs with their buddy to reach solutions and answer all the questions in the quiz. The geometry rules that were learnt in the past weeks were crucial to obtaining a high score. The first three runner ups were greeted with cheers and applause. Through the medium of technology, Maths revision was held in a fun collaborative way making it relevant to the boys and encouraging them to always push themselves and test their skills.

The 2023 Careers Fair at St Edward’s College was a great success. Attended by all students from Year 7 upwards, the students got to discuss career options with 25 different exhibitors ranging from degree-level courses to employers and captains of industry. Besides exhibitors, the students could also attend up to 10 different talks in as many sectors which would give them an idea of the way various industries work.

“The idea was to ensure that the students gain exposure to as many different sectors as possible so that they will start slowly building bridges into the work-place requirements. Over the next few years will be constantly changing foci annually so that by the time the students will come to leave college, they will have obtained a wide spectrum of contacts in various industries,” said Sylvana Debono, Communications and Marketing executive for the college.

The fair spanned two days and was compiled in collaboration with SEPTA.
