Anna Petrides, Year 7, talks about her experience:

 French Embassies worldwide organized their Night of Ideas this year, the event constituting a medium for communication between youth and policymakers.  Against the backdrop of the French Presidency of the Council of the EU, this year's event addressed two key issues: 'Climate Change' and 'the Digital Revolution.'

Each of the five individuals comprising the 'Digital Revolution' panel of the Night of Ideas brought something unique to the conversation, in most cases drawing inspiration from past experiences.  The privacy rights, cyberbullying, museum accessibility and communication between youth and policymakers were discussed.  Personally, having observed political polarization in my Instagram and Facebook feeds, I found reconciling social-scientific research in political polarization with my own experiences fascinating.

Preparing for the event was just as meaningful as the event itself.  In our meetings with Dr Kalliopi Agapiou-Josephides, representatives from the French Embassy and the director of the French Institute in Cyprus, our ideas took shape and form and were transformed into 3-minute presentations.
Highlights included an informal cocktail night at the French Ambassador's residence, having discussions with Embassy staff (in French) and interacting with renowned academics.  Nevertheless, the most memorable element was the sheer feeling of hope I felt seeing young people use their insightfulness and creativity to solve global challenges.  I feel grateful to Madame Salina Grenet-Catalano for this opportunity and hope that such events will be expanded in the future.

The last game was very intense, with both teams giving it their best.  We are proud of our Team's enthusiasm, outstanding performance and teamwork, which permitted them to win first place against the Gymnasium Sports School of Engomi.
 
Congratulations to the members of the Team and their coach.  
 
The Team will participate in the Pancyprian Basketball Schools Tournament beginning of May. 

 
Members of the Team:
 

Students who have chosen to represent their countries are some of the best, selected from thousands of students who participate enthusiastically in their own National Geography Olympiads.  The iGEO competition tests every participant's ability in spatial patterns and processes.  The iGEO consists of a written test, a multimedia test, and a substantial fieldwork exercise requiring observation, leading to cartographic representation and geographical analysis.  The programme also includes team poster presentations, cultural exchanges, and time for students to know their fellow students and explore the host city.

We are delighted to announce that after a two-year break due to COVID, the competition commenced on Saturday, 19^th March.  Six of our Year 7 students registered and participated in a three and a half hour exam organised by the Cyprus Geographical association at the University of Cyprus.

The top four performing students compete at the International Geography Olympiad, which is planned this year to happen in Paris, France.  We hope that COVID-19 will not restrict visitors from physically visiting Paris to compete.  If restrictions continue, then the competition will be held online.

Our students' results:

2^nd place:  Andreas Marcou

3^rd place:  Eleni Anayiotou

4^th place:  Aristotelis Lordos

6^th place:  Stylianos Solomonides

Hopefully, Andreas, Eleni and Aristotelis will participate with the Cyprus team in Paris, France.

Well done to our students!  As always, you make us very proud!

The Sun put on a great show too!! It was very active. Dark sunspots could be seen on the surface accompanied by numerous prominences and filaments.

The competition was held on Wednesday the 16th of March and Thursday, the 17th of March. 
The results can be noted in the table below.

Our students had been practising intensively in recent weeks and had an excellent presence in the parade, looking very smart in their school uniforms and displaying great marching style.  A number of students were not able to participate due to late positive covid tests and we very much look forward to having them in the team next year.
 
Congratulations to all members of the team:
