The English Golden Theatre

This March, the pupils of St Lawrence College were lucky enough to see comedy performances of The Little Prince and The Golden Ticket by the Golden English Theatre company. The Golden Ticket was a play inspired by Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and was an immersive experience for the children as it involved some audience members interactively. They laughed their socks off!! 

Thank you to the actors who put on such an energetic and entertaining run of performances for all our children to enjoy.

Science Fair

On Friday 14th March, we were very pleased to hold our annual Junior School Science Fair in the gym. The pupils from Years 3 to 6 took their chance to showcase their scientific understanding and shine like real scientists.

There were some truly outstanding entries, and the judges had to think long and hard about what the children, working on their own or in groups, had managed to achieve. There were chemistry experiments, physics investigations, biology experiments and even challenging AI related studies, all presented with flair and confidence by our young learners for their peers, teachers and parents too. 

Thank you to our Science Leader, Ms Maniatis, for putting on such a wonderful event which was enjoyed by all who attended.

Safeguarding Training with The Safeguarding Alliance for Our Greek-Speaking Staff

At St Lawrence College, safeguarding is a top priority, ensuring that all pupils feel safe, supported, and valued. As part of this commitment, we recently partnered with The Safeguarding Alliance to provide specialised safeguarding training for our Greek-speaking auxiliary staff. This training complements the regular child protection and safeguarding training that all teaching staff receive.

 On 12th March, we hosted in-person training sessions delivered in Greek, ensuring that our staff fully understood their safeguarding responsibilities. The training covered best practices, statutory requirements and the vital role each and every staff member plays in protecting our pupils.

 By offering this training in Greek, we reinforced our commitment to ensuring that safeguarding is clearly understood, effectively implemented, and embedded into daily practice. This initiative promotes trust, enhances pupil well-being, and reassures families that their children are in a safe and supportive learning environment.

Golden Under-16 Boys’ and Girls’ Basketball Teams

On March 12th, our Under-16 boys’ and girls’ basketball teams achieved great success in their respective tournaments.

The girls travelled to Campion School, where they faced four different teams. They won all four games by an impressive average margin of 17 points! The girls were thrilled to bring home gold medals just in time to cheer on the boys, who were up against St. Catherine’s in the final.

The boys’ final was full of dramatic moments. With just 30 seconds left on the clock, they were trailing 27-30. They quickly tied the game with a clutch 3-pointer. Then, with 18 seconds remaining and the game tied at 30-30, the boys regained possession. In a stunning turn of events, they scored the winning basket just as the buzzer sounded the end of the game, securing a dramatic comeback victory. The players celebrated alongside the girls, who cheered them on from the stands.

A huge congratulations to both teams for their outstanding performances, and a big thank you to our coaches, Ms. Tzavella and Mr. Karamatsios, for their hard work with the teams.

Vive la Chandeleur !

February is not really February without celebrating La Chandeleur (crepes day)! 

Last month, our Year 4 pupils who study French had the opportunity to discover this tasty and typically French tradition!

After a short presentation about the celebration and the superstition around the flipping of crepes from two of our senior school pupils, children in Ms Economou's and Ms Torres’ classes learnt how to order their crepes in French, with the topping of their choice. All pupils handled this French challenge with skill ....and the reward tasted delicious!
