As part of the European Week for Waste Reduction, the Red Warriors Elements Team at our Primary School would like to encourage students and staff at St Aloysius College to continue preparing a waste-free lunch.
A waste-free lunch means that there is no trash to throw away. Reducing litter is one of this year’s focus for the Red Warriors (the 7Rs of Sustainability) who as a group, discuss ways of achieving sustainability.
Illum qed jiġi osservat jum ta’ luttu nazzjonali minħabba li se jsir funeral mill-Istat tal-Professur Oliver Friggieri.
Magħruf u maħbub kemm bħala awtur kif ukoll bħala ħassieb u għalliem, il-Professur Friggieri għadda għexieren ta’ snin minn ħajtu jeduka lill-istudenti tiegħu bħala lettur fid-Dipartiment tal-Malti, fejn serva wkoll bħala Kap tad-Dipartiment u Professur tal-Letteratura.
F’isem il-Kulleġġ San Alwiġi u d-Dipartiment tal-Malti tal-Iskola Sekondarja, is-Sur Keith Scicluna jaqsam memorja personali magħna:
Meta kont qed nistudja fil-kors tal-Baċellerat tal-Edukazzjoni fl-Universita’ ta’ Malti bejn l-2008 u l-2012, kelli diversi lekċers mal-Professur Friggieri, ħafna minnhom dwar il-letteratura Maltija. Profs Friggieri kien jgħix għal-letteratura Maltija u l-imħabba tiegħu għaliha konna ngħixuha miegħu aħna l-istudenti tiegħu. Mhux darba jew tnejn li kien ikompli d-diskussjoni dwar dan b’mod privat, speċjalment magħna l-istudenti tal-B.Ed, meta kien jistieden xi wħud minna fl-uffiċċju tiegħu u kien jagħtina pariri ta’ kif għandna nwasslu l-letteratura lill-istudenti fil-klassi la darba nkunu għalliema. Żgur li kienu pariri li għadna ngħożżuhom u nipprattikawhom illum il-ġurnata fil-klassijiet tagħna . Memorja tiegħu huma wkoll id-diversi kotba li kien jgħaddilna u jiffirmalna b’xi messaġġ sempliċi iżda partikolari, li llum jiena ngħożż fil-librerija tiegħi.
Nagħlqu b’waħda mill-iżjed poeżiji famużi u sbieħ tiegħu: Jekk, magħrufa wkoll bħala l-poeżija tal-bus shelters
Jekk tifhem x’jgħidu l-kwiekeb
lill-qamar tul il-lej’,
jekk tagħraf minn fejn telaq
is-sħab, fejn sejjer, fej’,
jekk tirfes kull mogħdija
u tterraq kullimkien,
jekk tkellem lil kull ħlejqa
li tikber fil-ħolqien,
jekk togħdos fl-ibħra kollha
u tmiss qiegħ l-oċean,
jekk titla’ kull muntanja
u titfi kull vulkan,
jekk tifhem lil kull siġra
u tkellem lil kull fjur,
jekk torqod ma’ kull dudu
u tqum ma’ kull għasfur,
jekk tgħodd in-numri kollha
u taf kull alfabett,
jekk tħott kull teorema
u żżarma kull kunċett,
jekk togħxa b’kull tbissima
u tokrob b’kull uġigħ,
jekk toftoq il-kliem kollu
u ssib is-sens li fih,
jekk taf kif kien il-bidu
u kif se jkun it-tmiem,
jekk taf kull fuq, kull isfel,
kull wara, kull quddiem,
jekk taf għaliex kull għabex
iżelleġ kull żerniq,
jekk taf kemm hija twila,
kemm twila, twila t-triq,
jekk taf għaliex l-iżbalji,
u taf x’inhu perfett,
jekk taf għax serp jitkaxkar
u għax itir farfett,
jekk ittawwalt iżżejjed
fuq xifer il-ġibjun
tal-qalb biex issa ttella’
bis-satal x’hemm midfun,
jekk il-maltemp sikkittu
u lill-irjieħ raqqadt,
jekk l-ilmijiet nixxifthom
u lin-nirien qabbadt,
jekk fhimt kull mistoqsija
u jekk kull ħalfa ħlift,
u jekk kull rebħa rbaħtha
u jekk kull telfa tlift,
– il-petali tal-warda
waqgħulek minn idejk,
dan l-univers itektek
inqasam hemm, f’riġlejk.
Il-ħajja mistoqsija
miġbura f’elf għaliex,
u ssirlek poeżija
jekk int ma tweġibhiex.
Grazzi u strieħ fis-sliem, Prof Friggieri!
First established in 1954 as Universal Children’s Day, World Children’s Day is celebrated every year on 20 November to promote international togetherness, increase awareness among children worldwide, and improve children’s welfare.
It offers each of us an opportunity to advocate, promote and celebrate children’s rights, which can be translated into dialogues and actions that will build a better world for children. We can all play an important part in making World Children’s Day relevant for our societies, communities and nations.
Today, College will be raising funds in aid of the Children’s Fund.
Follow us on Facebook to keep up-to-date with our initiatives.

Dear members of staff, parents, and guardians,
I would like to inform you of some changes which have taken place in our College Board.
Following ten years of dedicated leadership, Mr John Galdes will be stepping down from his position as chairperson of the Board. He has been replaced by Dr Charles Bonello.
Charles Bonello started his career as a physics teacher, teaching the subject at secondary and post-secondary level for twenty-nine years. He read for a PhD in Science Education at Sheffield University, UK. He is presently a senior lecturer in Science Education, and a member of the Department of Mathematics and Science Education within the Faculty of Education at the University of Malta. He is involved in initial teacher education for secondary school science and physics where he lectures in a number of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. He is also involved in teachers’ continuous professional development and delivers in-service courses to physics teachers. Charles regularly participates in international conferences and EU projects which aim at improving Science Education.
Dr Bonello has been working closely with the Jesuits for many years. He has recently finished a four-year part-time course in Ignatian Spirituality and Spiritual accompaniment.
While warmly welcoming Dr Charles Bonello to the College Board, we would like to sincerely thank Mr John Galdes for his invaluable support and direction as chairperson of the Board for the past ten years. College is deeply indebted to him. He was a faithful, generous, competent, unassuming, and wise chairperson who accompanied many important changes at College. He will remain one of the greatest benefactors of our College.
Best regards,
Fr Jimmy Bartolo sj
Rector
