Lorenzo
Gafà Boys Secondary School. It is situated just outside the
walls of Vittoriosa and close to the Kalkara gate, in the area known as Il-Fortini.
Originally built as a primary school in the fifties it was turned into
a trade school for girls in the seventies.
In 1992 it became a secondary
school for boys and two years later the school was renamed Lorenzo Gafa`,
a famous seventeenth century baroque architect who hails from Vittoriosa.
As the school population grew and with it the need for a healthier
educational environment the school embarked on a restructuring and
refurbishment project which was completed in 2002 under the direction and
inspiration of Mr. Horace Caruana and Mr.Philip Bonello ,
administrators of the school. The school was
officially inaugurated on 11 June 2002.
It is a small school with a
population of about 250 boys between the ages of 11 and 16.
