Church Schools Statement: Removal of masks from schools risks leaving classes without educators

Church Schools Statement: Removal of masks from schools risks leaving classes without educators

Church Schools would like to express their strong reservations at the unilateral decision taken by Government to remove the mandatory use of face masks in schools as of Wednesday 13th April 2022.
This decision, taken at a time when schools have been hardest hit by COVID-19, with record numbers of sick students and staff, is also expected to leave an impact on parents who will have to remain at home to take care of their children. Therefore, Church Schools are appealing to Government to reconsider this decision.
Throughout discussions with Government on COVID-19 measures in schools, Church Schools always made it very clear that, while they are in favour of the eventual removal of face masks in classrooms, the use of masks has been an effective measure in controlling the pandemic in schools. Therefore, considering that students often spend up to six hours a day together in the same room, this should be the last measure to be withdrawn.

Spotlight on a special Lenten journey with INIGO – Primary School

Spotlight on a special Lenten journey with INIGO – Primary School

At our Primary School, Lent was marked with an Ash Wednesday Celebration for Early Years and Mass for the Junior Years.

Mr Anthony Mifsud, Chaplain, introduces this year’s special experience:

It was great seeing children praying as we launch this journey with our St Ignatius… Ini-GO in Spanish… We’re GO-ing to walk with him to Jesus in Jerusalem…

Featured above: Photos of the Lenten setup next to the stairs where the weekly assemblies were held.

Every week, a variety of INI-GO assemblies were organised and streamed online for the whole educational community. Each weekly assembly explored different aspects and symbols pertaining to Lent, helping our young audience immerse themselves, step by step, as they journey towards Easter.

Another highlight of this journey were the Passover Meals prepared for our Prep 2s. From animated readings to celebratory songs and breaking bread together, it was a truly special and memorable morning for all.

During the Our Lady of Sorrows mass, all the individual crosses made by our students were united to form one large cross; ultimately a collective visual representation of this unique Lenten experience with INI-GO.

Well done to the Chaplaincy and Ignatian Formation teams for creating such a memorable and inspiring Lenten journey for our young students!
