Girls' Primary School - 1946/1958


The girls' school followed the same pattern as that of the boys, where administration in general and visits by prominent people were concerned.


In 1955 the school consisted of 15 classes: 14 of them were housed in the main building and the other one, with 22 pupils in it, in a room at 39, Zebra Street, within a stone's throw of the school.

A problem, which had been felt for quite a long time, was the distance that a number of children living in Benghisa had to walk everyday, to and from school. The Heads of School and Mr Gaetano Cauchi, School Inspector, discussed this on 15th March 1951 and tried to solve the problem. The difference in the children's ages and their rather small number made it impracticable to open a school in that periphery. At long last, the problem was solved on 18th February 1965 when a decision to provide the children with free school transport was taken.

The Heads of School after the war were as follows:

  • Ms Amelia M. Agius Gerada (till1949)
  • Ms Nellie Jones (1949-1952)
  • Ms Mary Spiteri Fiteni (1952-1958)
