On Friday 1^st February, the St Lawrence College year 7 & 8 boys and girls basketball teams took part in a tournament at Campion school. 5 international school participated in the boys tournament and 3 in the girls. After what was an incredible show of skill and determination, St Lawrence finished 1^st place in both tournaments. 

Congratulations to all!

We are exceptionally proud of one of our very own St Lawrence pupils soaring to success in an international gymnastics competition held in Livadia, central Greece. On saturday 26th January, ten year old Estheleen Charalabidi won silver medal in the floor exercises, the hoop, and seventh place overall. 

Considering this was a prestigious international competition with stiff competition from overseas, this was a notable achievement, therefore we wish her hearty congratulations on her prize. Bravo! 

One innovative new way we are working on helping all our pupils get the most out of breaktime is with these delightfully creative buddy benches in our playgrounds. Since September 2018, several newly decorated benches have been installed and the children have definitely understood their purpose, to great effect. When a child is in need of a friend, they'll sit on a bench and sure enough, someone will come to their rescue! 

"I was on my own," said one year 4 pupil, "but then my friend came to play with me." 

 The only way to have a friend is to be one!

On Friday 21st December, Year 6 went to Blanos Bowling in Glyfada as an end of term treat. The children had hours of fun ten-pin-bowling, roller-skating and trampolining to their hearts' delight. The children had been looking forward to it for weeks since they found out they were going, and an air of pre-Christmas excitement was clearly felt by all. 

On their return to school, there was barely time to pack their things before they all headed off for a well-deserved Christmas holiday. Happy Holidays Everyone!

On Monday 17th December, year 3 took a Christmassy trip to Paradise Park.

Pupils dove into the Christmas season with a fabulous day out and about. They really enjoyed themselves, engaging in a number of different festive activities at this popular site. They rode in Santa's sleigh and crafted and decorated snowflakes made out of wooden lollipop sticks. They danced and even learned how we make hot chocolate!

Roll on Christmas Day!

On Wednesday 19th December 2018, the hall was filled with young children from our Early Years classes and their families who'd come along to see their unique take on the nativity story. There was laughter and smiles all around!

The Noisy Nativity was an entertaining tale about a group of teachers teaching their students what Christmas is really all about. They took them back to the time of the birth of baby Jesus...in a very noisy way! There was singing, clapping, stamping and playing musical instruments throughout. All the well-known nativity characters took part: Mary, Joseph, the angel, a donkey and other stable mates,the three kings, innkeepers and shepherds watching over their flocks! Well done to our youngest children for putting on such a wonderful Christmas production!

We start them young at St Lawrence College with their love of nature and all things in the countryside! On Friday 16th November 2018, FS1 and FS2, our two and three year olds that is, visited the Cultural Park in Keratea. Since it's olive harvest season all over Greece right now, the children experienced picking olives using different kinds of equipment like mini rakes, scoops and more. They loved learning about how olive oil is made and they even had a hand in making olive bread. What a lovely time was had by all! 

The Junior School commemorative event for Greece’s Οχι Day was a wonderful affair held for pupils, staff, friends and family over 2 days so that all could make the most of it. Our Years 5 and 6 pupils put on a marvellous performance under the watchful eye of Ms Tsirigoti and the Greek department. They took a different look at the events of the second world war through the eyes of civilians who were affected, re-enacting their testimonies and tributes. 

The musical elements of the production were beautifully added by the Greek choir which sang several of the most iconic war songs, bringing a tear to many an eye of the parents and grandparents who’d joined us for the day. Well done to all who participated with such vigour and talent in this very memorable event!
