This annual outing, a cornerstone of our biology curriculum, took place along a rocky shore and at a freshwater stream near Stroumpi in Paphos. Students engaged in a range of hands-on activities, such as quadrat sampling and transect lines, to analyze the distribution of plant species, and closely observed animal life to identify specific adaptations that enable organisms to thrive in their unique environments.

Through practical application of classroom concepts, the students gained valuable insights into population dynamics and ecological interactions. This immersive experience offered them a firsthand look at real-world biological processes, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the complexities of natural ecosystems.

This remarkable achievement is a testament to their exceptional creativity, hard work, and unwavering commitment to their craft. Alexandra and Ireni's dedication and perseverance have truly set them apart, and their success serves as an inspiration to their peers and the entire school community.

We eagerly anticipate the bright futures that await them as they continue to pursue their passions in the world of art and design.

Congratulations, Alexandra and Ireni! Your hard work has paid off, and we are all immensely proud of your accomplishments!
