Exceptional Problem-Solving:
Soteris Cleanthous and Ioannis Lambrou showcased their exceptional problem-solving skills by presenting the intriguing "100 Prisoners" problem. This classic puzzle captivates the mind and demonstrates the power of logical reasoning and probability.

Exploring the Cosmos:
Maria Nearchou took centre stage with her captivating presentation on the mesmerizing phenomenon of the Lunar Eclipse. The celestial event, involving the Earth, Sun, and Moon in perfect alignment, surely left the audience in awe.

Acknowledgement and Gratitude:
A special shout-out and heartfelt gratitude to Mr Andreas Demetriou for his invaluable contribution as a coordinating event member. His dedication and efforts played a pivotal role in making the festival a resounding success.

Empowering Our Students:
Events like the Cyprus STEAME Festival give our students unique opportunities to delve into the realms of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics, and Entrepreneurship. We are proud to witness our students actively engaging with these subjects and showcasing their talents on a broader platform.

Stay tuned for more inspiring achievements from our talented students!

Empowering Learning Through Innovative Methods:
The ITF is renowned for its role in fostering collaboration and sharing innovative methods and best practices, often referred to as "tools," that enhance both formal and non-formal learning. This year's theme, "Mental Health – Minds in Motion," was particularly timely and poignant. Co-hosted by Leargas, the Irish National Agency for Erasmus+, and Jigsaw, the National Centre for Youth Mental Health in Ireland, the event delved into the critical topic of mental health.

A Rich Experience:
Participants at the ITF enjoyed plenary talks by experts in the field engaged in experiential workshops that provided hands-on learning experiences. They embarked on enlightening visits to local youth centres. One of the highlights was a visit to The Cavan Centre, a significant support system for disadvantaged youth from inner-city Dublin, offering outdoor education as a transformative tool.

Impact on Our School Community:
We applaud our school counsellor's commitment to continuous learning and personal development. The insights gained from this experience will undoubtedly enrich our school community and contribute to our holistic approach to education.

We look forward to seeing how this valuable experience will further enhance our support and guidance to our students and the broader school ecosystem.

The act of decorating a Christmas tree is more than just putting up ornaments; it's a tradition that brings people together and creates cherished memories. Our Year 1 student volunteers had the incredible opportunity to participate in this festive tradition, guided by the experienced hands of our dedicated staff.   

Seeing our students' eyes lit up with excitement was lovely as they carefully selected ornaments and decorations to adorn Lloyd's tree. Our Head of Year 1 and Assistant Head joined in on the fun, showing their support and enthusiasm every step of the way. Their presence not only added to the festivities but also emphasized the importance of unity and camaraderie within our school community.

As the Lloyd's tree transformed into a symbol of holiday cheer, it brought a sense of warmth and belonging to our school. 

As we approach the holiday season, let us remember the importance of coming together, cherishing the traditions that bind us, and spreading kindness and goodwill.

May the lights on the Lloyd's tree shine bright, guiding us through a season filled with love and happiness.
