he Bake Sale was a resounding success, spreading joy and happiness to all who participated. The Y3 French students worked hard to ensure that the baked goods were not only delicious but also visually appealing, with red hearts and other Valentine's Day-themed decorations adorning the treats. All the proceeds from the sale were donated to the Make a Wish Foundation, a charity that grants wishes to children with critical illnesses, bringing hope and positivity to their lives.

[School Name] is incredibly proud of its Y3 French students for their dedication to this cause and for being part of this year's successful Valentine's Bake Sale. The event would not have been possible without the help and support of Chain of Change, a non-profit organization that empowers students to create positive social change in their communities.

The Bake Sale was a heartwarming example of how young people can make a positive difference in the world. By coming together and working towards a common goal, the Y3 French students and Chain of Change showed that even small actions could have a significant impact. Through their efforts, they raised awareness and funds for the Make a Wish Foundation, helping to grant the wishes of critically ill children and their families.

We want to applaud the amazing our Year 3 French students and Chain of Change for a job well done.
Together, we can create a brighter future and make a positive difference in our community!

The cherry on top was the presence of Grandmaster Susan Polgar, former World Chess Champion (1996-1999), who graced the event with her legendary presence.

Our students shone in the tournament, securing 1st place in both the Juniors and Seniors Divisions. We are proud to share that Pavlos Chrysostomou (15 points) and Zilin Su (11 points) secured 1st and 2nd places, respectively, in the overall player standings. The rest of our players also made significant contributions towards these great achievements: Angelos Prastitis (10 points), Garry Petrossian (9 points), Mikhail Kiselev (9 points), and Olympia Xenophontos (8 points).

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our students for once again making us proud with their remarkable performances!

We want to express our gratitude to Mark Bryan (Simba Trainers) and the Larnaca Chess Club for organizing the tournament and the Cyprus Chess Federation and Tornaritis Law Firm for sponsoring the event. Thank you for making this memorable event possible!

This event is open to students and parents from all years, though it may be particularly useful for Year 5 and 6 students who are starting to think about their future education.

The presentation will be given by Ms Anna Argyrou, our school's advisor for studies in the U.S. With 30 years of experience working with students for US university admission, Ms Argyrou is a knowledgeable and experienced resource for those seeking guidance on the application process.

During the presentation, Ms Argyrou will cover a variety of topics related to applying to US universities, including admissions requirements, standardized testing, application timelines, and more. There will also be a question and answer time following the presentation, providing an opportunity for parents and students to ask any questions they may have.

We hope that you will take advantage of this informative and engaging opportunity to learn more about the US university application process. We look forward to seeing you on April 5th in the main hall.

We are thrilled to see our young female athletes excel in the sport and show great spirit, collaboration, and exceptional basketball skills.

Led by their coaches Rafaella Neokleous and Andreas Sizopoulos, the team played extremely well, winning with an impressive score of 46-7. Members of the team include Nathanael, Sophia, Lydia, Artemis, Penny, Yakinthi, Eleni, Ismini, Sophia, Paola, Veronica, Moria, and Maria. Congratulations to each of these talented young athletes for their hard work and dedication to the sport.

At our school, we believe in fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where all students can thrive and pursue their passions. We are proud to see our young female athletes break down gender stereotypes and inspire others to do the same.

This achievement is particularly fitting as it coincides with International Women's Day, a day that celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women around the world. We stand in solidarity with all women and girls and are committed to promoting gender equality and empowering our female students to achieve their full potential.

We wish our Junior Girls' Basketball team the best of luck in the final four and look forward to cheering them on as they continue to represent our school with pride and excellence.

The music department has always been a place where students can express their creativity and pursue their passion for music. Our female students are no exception – they have shown us time and time again that they have what it takes to succeed in the world of music. From playing classical instruments to singing in the choir, our female musicians are a force to be reckoned with.

The music department is a place where our female students can feel empowered and supported. We encourage them to pursue their dreams and to never give up on their passion for music. We want them to know that they are capable of achieving anything they set their minds to, whether it's becoming a professional musician or pursuing any other career they choose.

As we celebrate International Women's Day, we want to recognize and honour all the amazing female musicians in our school's music department. You are an inspiration to us all, and we are proud to have you as part of our school community. Keep making beautiful music, and know that you are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to!

In conclusion, let's continue to empower and support the next generation of female musicians to pursue their dreams, whether it's in music or any other field they choose. Here's to strong women – may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them!

This will be our school's first time competing in the event at the Agios Dometios Sports Centre on the 11th and 12th of March from 9 am to 6 pm.

We wish our students the best of luck and are proud to have them represent our school in this prestigious competition. We would also like to extend our gratitude to Mr Stelios Theodosiou and Ms Thekla Papastavrou for their unwavering support and guidance in preparing our students for the competition.

Be sure to mark your calendars and come out to cheer on our talented students as they showcase their skills and creativity in the field of robotics. We hope to see you there!

The music composition workshop, which took place earlier this term, was an incredible experience for our students. Through Mr Aletras' guidance and expertise, they learned how to effectively compose music that enhances the emotions and storytelling in films. His many years of experience in the industry provided a valuable resource for our students, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of the creative process of film scoring.

One of the workshop's highlights was the hands-on experience that Mr Aletras provided in composing and orchestrating their own short film scores. This allowed students to experiment with various instruments and techniques and develop their own unique styles. Mr Aletras' encouragement of this experimentation helped our students to find their own voice and take their first steps towards becoming accomplished composers.

Overall, the workshop was an invaluable experience for our GCSE music students. It offered them an insight into the world of film scoring that they may not have had access to and allowed them to learn from a successful and experienced composer. We are grateful to Mr Aletras for his time and expertise, and we look forward to offering similar opportunities to our students in the future.

If you want to learn more about music composition, film scoring, or any other aspect of music education, we encourage you to explore the many available resources. With dedication and hard work, you, too, can become a successful composer and make your mark in the music world.
