Last June Rotary celebrated with ten children from Bayside and Westside schools, who had successfully completed the above award scheme and received Certificates and badges at a ceremony at City Hall from the Deputy Mayor, the Hon. Olga Zammit.
In the following September, 17 girls and 20 boys signed up to participate in the 2009/10 Award. The scheme looks like becoming a regular feature of the secondary introduction to youngsters joining the senior education level at Year 8.
The head teachers, Dr. George Garcia (Westside) and Mr Leslie Grech (Bayside) support the scheme enthusiastically. They are both ably supported by Ms Belinda Bautista at Westside and Mr Colin Skinner at Bayside who have identified suitable Year 12 students to assist their younger colleagues.Details of the scheme can be found on our links indicated at the left hand side of our webiste. The scheme is not easy and it is expected that some students will drop out. By early February 2010, eight boys remained on the course together with nine girls.
An award ceremony will be held in June 2010 but more details will be clarified nearer the date.
