Great news for Year 12! After 3 months of First Aid training, our students sat the St. John's Ambulance Cyprus exam, which they all passed successfully. Their training focused on helping someone in cardiac arrest, choking and severe bleeding. Thirty-one Year 12 students did us proud again. Congratulations! We hope, however, that you never have to use the knowledge you have gained!
On March 9, Maya and Maira, together with their team from the Epiteugma Training Centre, took part in the 2024 Pancyprian Robotics Competition—Robotic Day & First Tech Challenge. Their robot competed in the Custom Line Follow Category and finished in the top 3. They thus qualified to travel to Prague for the Czech Robotic Day competition! The Czech competition will be in early June. The girls are very excited, and we are very happy for them!
Year 2 had a fabulous educational field trip to Agios Demetrios Park on March 6th and 8th to learn about the importance of clean environments and adopting eco friendly habits. The children were accompanied by the Senior School students who are part of the Eco Committee. Our students engaged in fun games, listened to stories and poems shared by the Senior School students, and then designed works of art! They collected natural materials that they found on the ground, used their mathematical skills to tally their results and then designed masterpieces depicting nature!It was a very productive morning and a great initiative of working closely with our older students from our Senior School campus who kindly shared their knowledge with us!
In early February, our Year 10 and Year 11 Geography students completed their IGCSE Fieldwork in Larnaca as part of a residential field trip! Day 1 was all about diving into urban change and regeneration as they explored the central business district of Larnaca. From bustling streets to evolving architecture, our students conducted hands-on fieldwork, unraveling the layers of change shaping this vibrant city and conducting questionnaires on local residents and visitors. On Day 2, they ventured to the Zygi coastal area, where they ivnestigated rates of erosion and deposition. Armed with curiosity and scientific tools, they collected data, which was later analysed and presented in order to revisit their original hypotheses.
It was definitely an invaluable experience for all!
We are bursting with pride to announce that our very own SS sports school athlete, Anna Bychenko from Year 9, has secured two impressive trophies at the Aphrodite Hills Pancyprian G1 tennis tournament!

Tsiknopempti was an event not to be missed, and our school pulled out all the stops to create an impressive and highly playful (''tsikno'‘) atmosphere!
Once again, our Greek department organized traditional games for the entire school, offering children the chance to enjoy a delightful morning filled with laughter, joy, and fun activities. From egg races to sack races, rope games, balloon races, and fabric tails for chasing, our basketball court transformed into a hub of excitement. The air was filled with laughter, and the vibrant carnival costumes displayed the unique personalities of each child. A big thank you goes out to the Parents' Association for their "tsiknisma" efforts, treating everyone at our school to traditional dishes such as souvlaki, halloumi, and burekia!
What a fantastic Tsiknopempti celebration at The Senior School yesterday! The Greek department outdid themselves with a day filled with joy and excitement.

Traditional dances, games such as a tug of war, scarf, sack races, and a big shoutout to the sports department for keeping the energy high! Huge thanks to our dedicated parents association for the mouthwatering food and complimentary fresh loukoumades that made our day even more special. Let's not forget the highlight of the event - the one and only Mr. Mo bringing to the stage his own brand of the fun and laughter! Tsiknopempti was truly a day to remember with a ton of games and endless joy. Cheers to more memorable moments like these!
