Salakian Trophy 2024: 1st Leg Match Recap
We were honoured by the presence of Ms. Sylvia Salakian, adding a special touch to the event. The game was filled with thrilling moments as the enthusiasm and determination of the young E.S. team met the skill and experience of the ESOBGA players.
Despite the E.S. team’s great effort, the match concluded with a 5-3 victory for ESOBGA. Special congratulations go to Y2 student Vicken Khasho and Y4 students Kyriakos Zapitis and Giorgos Loizou, each scoring a goal for the School team.
Looking ahead, the second leg of the Salakian Trophy will take place in early April 2025. We encourage all hockey enthusiasts to support the team and join our hockey practices as we aim to overcome the 2-goal deficit and fight for the Trophy!
Stay tuned for more updates and exciting sports events at our school!

Exciting Lecture for Year 7 Students!
Dr. Lausi was in Cyprus for a high-level Japan-Cyprus scientific collaboration, and his talk, titled "Synchrotron Light: A Universal Tool for Science and Culture," explored how this cutting-edge technology is used to advance our understanding of science and culture.
As the Scientific Director of SESAME Synchrotron, a world-class research facility, Dr. Lausi shared incredible insights into the power of synchrotron light and its importance in shaping scientific advancements. His work not only sparked curiosity but also showed our students how science plays a pivotal role in shaping our world.
After the talk, our Year 7 Physics class had the opportunity to engage in an interactive Q&A session with both Dr. Lausi and Dr. Kirsi Lorentz, an Associate Professor at The Cyprus Institute. The session was filled with insightful questions and discussions, fostering a deeper understanding of potential career paths in science.
We hope this inspiring session opens the door for future collaborations and encourages our students to dream big in the world of science!
