St Edward’s College focuses on the character building and development of its pupils. A model Edwardian is an all-rounder and is expected to excel in several fields.
It is for this reason that our boys are encouraged to participate in as many extracurricular activities as possible since we believe that a wholesome education consists of a well-balanced combination of academic, sportive and cultural activities.
However it is impossible to offer all the aforementioned activities in the College’s packed timetable since the National Minimum Curriculum dictates the setting of a packed timetable.
We therefore offer a variety of break-time as well as after-school activities for boys of various ages in order to make their learning experience at St Edward’s both memorable and enjoyable.
Sports break-time activities which are organized and supervised by fully qualified and dedicated staff members include:
-
Basketball - we employ the current National Team coach
-
Football - a variety of coaches coach our boys in this popular sport including former Bulgarian and local National Team players
-
Rugby
-
Judo - the sensei is a former National Team Coach
-
Gym / Athletics
In addition to the above, the Junior School boys are offered other break-time extra-curricular activities, some of which are designed to help them improve their knowledge of certain academic subjects which they may find difficult:
-
Cooking - the medium of instruction is Maltese. This enables students to learn the practical aspects of their national language outside the traditional classroom setting.
-
Science Club - the aim of the club is to show students the fun side of science.
-
Chess
Boys are given the option to participate in sports activities after-school hours. As with the break-time activities, after-school sports sessions are free of charge.
At this point in time we offer:
After-school homework sessions
St Edward’s teaching staff also volunteer to help boys with homework after school hours (15:00 – 17:00) from Mondays to Thursdays.
