• The Origins of the School

The first primary school at Sannat opened its doors in the year 1873.  Primarily it was a house located at 86-87 Saguna Street in the area known as the Upper Square.  The government had purchased this house and transformed it into a school.  The first headmaster was Peter Paul Zerafa.  Till the year 1891, about 85 children attended this school.

The number of pupils continued to increase and in the year 1905, the government had to rent a bigger house in Main Street to accommodate all pupils. However on October 10, 1942 the school suffered considerable damage due to war bombs.

In the meantime the Colonial Government was working on the New Modern Schools Programme.  On March 13, 1964, the present school at Sannat Road,  was officially opened by the Minister of Education Dr Antonio Paris and blessed by His Lordship Monsignor Giuseppe Pace, bishop of Gozo.
