Following last Saturday's informative meeting at Gudja may I propose the following suggestions on behalf of St Joan Antide School -
1) Since Gudja and most Xlokk villages are not a tourist attraction,our pupils are less exposed to people that speak in English than children who live in for eg Sliema, Mellieha etc.. This gives them an unfair disadvantage in adult life especially when seeking jobs. With this in mind, our school would like to embark on a project wherby parents/adults who are foreigners are invited to school on a weekly basis and speak to pupils in English with the proper accent. These parents could do a crafts session, storytelling or take part in debates with pupils in English.
2) Another project we have in mind is to invite ex-teachers and well-educated pensioners from Gudja and it s surroundings to help pupils with their HW after school hours. This would benefit both working mothers, the elderly who have free time on their hands, as well as the pupils.
3) We were also thinking of involving people who have free time to spare, to come to school and teach our pupils -
a) how to cook healthy and traditional recipes - the way nanna used to cook
b) basic gardening skills
In the past we had pilot projects for some of the above but since everything was on a voluntary basis it was difficult to implement them long term. The HW club is still functioning because we have two teachers doing the job but between them they can only keep 6 pupils as the children need individual attention.
I m hoping that with your help we can implement these projects on a larger scale and for longer duration.
Matul is-sena 2011,il-Parrocca Arcimatrici u Arcipretali Sta.Marija Gudja,ha tkun qed tfakkar il-575 sena tal-Parrocca.Ghalhekk ser issiru diversi attivitajiet fil-Parrocca biex dan l-anniversarju jibqa mfakkar.
