The presentation was of an advanced level and was informative and engaging for all attendees.

During the presentation, Mr Karantonis elaborated on the transfer orbit and the launch phase of a geostationary satellite. He also discussed the voyage to the geostationary orbit and provided information about the various systems of a fully operational satellite. Students were able to learn about the importance of geostationary satellites and their role in communication and navigation.

Additionally, Mr Karantonis discussed the ground stations in Cyprus and Greece which support satellite missions. He provided fascinating insights into the inner workings of these stations and the crucial role they play in supporting satellite missions.

Our students were captivated by Mr Karantonis's presentation, and they had the opportunity to ask questions and gain a deeper understanding of the topic. We are grateful to Hellas Sat for providing such a unique and educational opportunity for our students.

As a result of the presentation, our students have developed a newfound appreciation for the work that goes into launching and operating geostationary satellites. We hope to visit the Cyprus ground station in the future and continue to learn more about this exciting field.

The workshop was held in the school hall on Thursday, February 17th, and focused on enabling parents and guardians to recognize the signs of anxiety in children and understand its causes. Our dedicated team presented various strategies for parents and guardians to help their children deal with anxiety and develop confidence in their abilities.

At The English School, we firmly believe in the importance of a school-home partnership in fostering confident learners. We can create a supportive environment that encourages children to reach their full potential by working together. We understand that anxiety is a common issue children face, and we are committed to providing parents and guardians with the necessary tools to address it.

We are grateful to all who attended the workshop and shared their insights and experiences. We encourage parents and guardians to continue the conversation at home and keep the lines of communication open with their children's teachers.

Let's continue to work together to benefit our young learners, building healthy minds and confident learners. Thank you for your commitment to our school community.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact The English School TLC. We are always here to support you and your child's educational journey.
