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!

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! 

The English School dominated the first half, racing to a 3-0 lead thanks to precise strikes from Maria Leandrou, Kyveli Matsi, and Nayia Stephanou. Their attacking prowess and defensive solidity kept Apollon Ladies at bay for much of the game.

Apollon Ladies mounted a spirited comeback in the second half, narrowing the score to 3-2 and putting pressure on The English School's defence. However, Nayia Stephanou rose to the occasion once more, delivering a powerful header that sealed the match at 4-2.

With this victory, the team remains firmly in the title race. Their next challenge comes against Omonoia FC, where they will aim for another win before heading into the Christmas break.

Congratulations to the entire team and coaching staff for their continued hard work and success. Best of luck in the next match — let’s keep the winning streak alive!

The visit offered students a unique opportunity to explore the inner workings of a multinational business. They learned about the history of Ocean Basket and its successful business model. Key discussions focused on critical business concepts such as Human Resource Management and Marketing Strategy, topics they have studied for their IAS exams.

Beyond the academic discussions, students observed firsthand how these business strategies are implemented in a real-world setting. Engaging directly with professionals, they connected classroom theory with practical applications in a dynamic business environment.

To top off the experience, the students enjoyed a delightful lunch provided by Ocean Basket, enhancing the welcoming and educational atmosphere of the visit.
