On the occasion of Prize day 2009, which was held on the 2nd April, the 'Being a Foreigner Committee' was one amongst many others who presented an item  for this event.

The main aim of this short play namely 'Preziosi Dance Academy' (which also included students dancing and singing) was to show the importance of inclusion and that  you   cannot judge people just from the way they look or what country they come from...because no matter who you are or where you come from, everyone is a human being and thus deserves a chance!!

On Wednesday 18th March 2009, the Sustainable Club was involved in preserving different kinds of fruit and vegetables. After the recycling of  jars, which meant removing the label and washed thoroughly and sterilised, the preparation of the preserves started. The students made jellies, jams, preserves, relishes and pickles.

Home preserves are cheaper and undoubtedly superior in quality. Home preserves limit exposure to chemicals and pesticides.

All the items created made welcome little gifts that students, parents and teachers alike found them hard to resist.

On the same day, some students also painted on recycled jars so as to transform them into vases, cookie jars, canister sets and other containers. Any profits made from these items  were donated to Angela's House and to our school.

Another activity involved each class to plant a tree in memory of the million of children who died in the second world war. These indigenous trees were donated by Wied Incita. The students' involvement in planting the trees and watching them grow encourages ongoing learning about tolerance and respect.

A number of items were presented such as power points, videos, dances, singing and reading in their native language. Afterwards the guests together with the participants were invited to see an exhibition and for refreshments which consisted mainly of traditional Christmas / New Years' food of each country.
