We are delighted to share the highlights of this year’s successful Year 8 ski trip to Mt. Parnassos, which took place on Thursday 8th and Friday 9th February. A total of 59 pupils started off on this exciting adventure, accompanied by our dedicated staff, making it a truly unforgettable experience for all.
The first day was filled with energy and enthusiasm as pupils participated in a 2-hour ski or snowboard lesson tailored to their individual skill levels. Under the expert guidance of certified instructors, working in very small groups, they embraced the challenge and made remarkable progress on the slopes. After an active day in the snow, pupils enjoyed a well-earned break, choosing between ice-skating at an outdoor rink or unwinding with hot chocolate while socialising with friends.
The adventure continued on the second day with two additional 2-hour lessons. With growing confidence and determination, pupils refined their skills and showed impressive improvement on the slopes. Whether they were beginners mastering their first descent or experienced skiers perfecting jumps and turns, everyone had the opportunity to develop their abilities and push their limits. Some pupils who had never skied before were confidently tackling the beginner slopes by the end of the day, while more advanced skiers took on new challenges, such as jumps and twirls.
We are incredibly proud of our pupils for their enthusiasm, resilience, and teamwork throughout the trip. Their exemplary behaviour made it an absolute pleasure to accompany them on this adventure. From early morning starts to the final run down the slopes, they displayed dedication, determination, and a positive spirit.
A huge thank you to our staff, pupils, and parents for their support in making this trip such a success. We look forward to many more exciting adventures in the future!

On Tuesday 4th  and Thursday 6th February, our school proudly hosted annual mini-basketball tournaments for Year 5 and Year 6 pupils. These two action-packed days brought together more than 150 enthusiastic players, all eager to display their basketball skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship. A total of seven schools participated in these thrilling events, making for an atmosphere filled with energy, competition, and cheers from supporters. The level of play was truly commendable, with players showing remarkable determination, quick passes, and impressive shots. The courts were alive with excitement as young athletes dribbled, defended, and aimed for baskets, embodying the spirit of the game. Teachers, coaches, and supporters were all delighted with the high standard of play and the enthusiasm displayed by every participant.

A heartfelt congratulations to all our young basketball players who proudly represented St Lawrence College. Your dedication and effort were truly inspiring!

We’re thrilled to share the wonderful success of our Festive Fundraising Day, hosted by the Charity Ninjas on Wednesday, 18th December! The day was filled with holiday cheer as staff and pupils showcased their creative side by wearing Christmas cardigans, winter woollies, and jolly jumpers, with many transforming old sweaters into festive masterpieces. A huge congratulations to our 1st place winners, Marianna in 2Tr and Lydia in 4B, who wowed the judges with their incredible designs and were each awarded a family ticket to XPLORE Entertainment Centre!

The Charity Ninjas’ handmade holiday gift cards and wrapping paper were a huge hit, selling out completely thanks to the amazing support from our school community. The delicious hot cocoa topped with mini marshmallows was another crowd favourite, adding a warm and cosy touch to the festivities. All proceeds from the event will support OLOI MAZI BOROUME (All Together We Can), a fantastic organization dedicated to social welfare, environmental protection, health, and education initiatives in Greece.

Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and supported this heartwarming cause. Together, we’ve made a difference and shared the true spirit of the holiday season. Wishing you all a joyful and healthy holiday season!

To mark the end of the Christmas term, we hosted the eagerly awaited ‘Teachers vs Pupils’ games. In this spirited event, a mixed team of our sixth-form pupils took on the challenge of facing a mixed team of teachers and staff in both football and volleyball.

The atmosphere was electric as hundreds of pupils from all key stages gathered to cheer on both teams. Many raised banners in support of their peers and teachers alike.

In Periods 5 and 6, the Over-16 football teams—made up of girls and boys—went head-to-head with the SLC staff team. It was a fierce match, with the teachers battling hard, but in the end, the pupils emerged victorious, winning 4-3.

In Periods 7 and 8, the spectators moved to the Indoor Gym for the volleyball match. This time, the teachers showed their strength and determination, refusing to be defeated again. After two incredibly close sets, they triumphed with a 2-0 victory. The final scores were 25-22 and 25-23, respectively.

Younger pupils are already eagerly looking forward to their turn to participate in these games in the years to come, hoping to continue this exciting tradition.

On our last day of term, Year 6 pupils took a trip which has become a rite of passage for this year group as they celebrate being in the final year of junior school. The children headed off for the local bowling centre in Glyfada, where they played together, roller skated, aimed for strikes in ten-pin bowling and jumped on the trampolines to their heart's delight. 

With a party lunch to enjoy at the venue too, they came back to school at the end of the day just as full of beans as they had been at the start of the day. They headed off for home with a smile on their faces and good memories of all the laughs they'd had that day. The holidays are just round the corner, and they just can't wait!

Parents, families and friends were invited to the St Lawrence Early Years and Reception Christmas Show. This festive event, titled "Santa Lost His Hat," was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the holiday season and showcase the hard work and creativity of our youngest learners. The children prepared a heartwarming performance filled with joy, music, and holiday cheer, held on Tuesday 17th December at the Efilena Estate. The story was told ever so enchantingly, and all were delighted to attend it and witness bundles of cuteness galore. Happy Holidays to Everyone!

On Friday 13th December, the school gym here at St Lawrence College was transformed into a wonderful theatre full of Christmas spirit. Voices rang out loud and clear, as all our pupils sang a wide range of songs about this festive season. The choir and the Instrumental club took part too in creating the warmest, loveliest atmosphere of celebration. 

Congratulations to all our pupils who participated in the concert, and to all the members of staff who helped us put on a truly warm and welcoming celebration. Happy Holidays to all our children and families at this special time of year!

On Thursday 5th December, as part of the literacy curriculum and the festive season, Year 3 took an outing to Paradise Park in Acharnes. The children made festive decorations and ornaments with clay and materials from nature and visited the chocolate workshop, guided by Santa's helpers. 

During their visit to the Park Farm, they met and fed the sheep and even Rudolf too! They played in the newly renovated playground and participated in other fun activities to ensure a great day was had by all!

The Reception class children participated in Christmas festivities at ‘Votaniko Parko,’ in Koropi on Wednesday 11th December, as part of their topic, “Winter Holidays and Christmas.” The children took part in a specially designed programme, prepared by the Christmas elves, to learn about the uniqueness of this holiday. The elves left original and creative missions for our pupils to discover together in a special festive atmosphere of fun and cooperation. The day included games and the creation of a decorative ornament, which the children took away with them as a souvenir of their outing. What fun!

On Thursday, 12 December, our school’s swimming team took part in a swimming competition at ACS School. Seven schools participated, and our team of 15 swimmers from Years 8 and 9 performed incredibly well.

Our swimmers won a total of 13 medals—7 gold, 5 silver, and 1 bronze. This included 11 medals in individual events because of exceptional individual skills and 2 in relay races showcasing a fantastic team spirit.

We are very proud of everyone on the team for their hard work and fantastic achievements. Congratulations to all the swimmers!

Year 5 took a trip to the Ancient Egypt rooms at the National Archaeological Museum on 11th December to build on their learning in History this term and bring it to life.  The children saw artefacts that filled in information about the crucial role of the River Nile and how Egyptians developed farming methods. They saw what the mummification process produced as they wanted to preserve bodies for the afterlife, and they peered at canopic jars for vital organs. It was a memorable experience for all.

From Thursday 5th until Sunday 8th December, our boys' and girls' Over-16 football teams participated in a 4-day tournament hosted by Anatolia School in Thessaloniki. For three consecutive years, we have proudly had at least one team reach the final.

This year, while our boys’ team didn’t make it past the group stage having lost to PIERCE, in their second game they displayed great effort with a 3-1 victory over AFS School. On the other hand, our girls’ team demonstrated outstanding resilience and determination, battling through extreme weather conditions to secure a spot in the final. With two wins (against Campion and PIERCE) and a draw (against St. Catherine's). In the final they faced the host school, Anatolia and despite coming up short after a hard-fought match, our girls were proud to finish in 2nd place—a fantastic achievement!

Special recognition goes to our exceptional centre-back, Stella Nouvaki, who was awarded MVP of the tournament. Additionally, we extend heartfelt congratulations to both teams for their exemplary behaviour, dedication, and incredible efforts throughout the trip.

A big thank you to our boys' coach and devoted teacher, Mr. Strzemiecki, as well as the girls' coach, Mr. Styliatis, for their unwavering support and guidance over the past three years. Their commitment has been instrumental in fostering the teams' growth and success.

On Tuesday, 26th, and Thursday, 28th November, our school proudly hosted an energetic and vibrant two-day mini-football tournament which welcomed over 300 young footballers from Years 5 and 6, representing our school and four other international schools. Both boys and girls took to the pitch with a shared aim: to enjoy the game and celebrate the spirit of sportsmanship.

The school grounds buzzed with excitement as teams demonstrated their skills, teamwork, and determination. Each match highlighted the players’ enthusiasm and love for football, showing that the sport is more than just a game—it is a medium for connection, learning, and growth. With every goal scored and every save made, the young athletes embodied the core values of resilience and camaraderie. Players from different schools built new friendships, cheering each other on and proving the power of sport to unite people from diverse backgrounds.

Congratulations to all the young footballers for their outstanding performances! This tournament was not only a display of talent but also a celebration of the joy and values that sport brings to our lives. A heartfelt well done to everyone involved—we look forward to hosting many more such events in the future!

On Monday, 25th November 2024, our Year 6 Greek History pupils embarked on an exciting journey back in time, visiting the Ancient Agora in the heart of Athens. Organised by the Greek Department, this incredible day brought history to life as pupils explored the fascinating evolution of the Ancient Agora through different eras.

The adventure began with a tour of the Ancient Agora, where pupils wandered through the remains of administrative buildings that once upheld ancient democracy, admired grand ancient temples, and imagined the hustle and bustle of the commercial centre. At the Stoa of Attalos museum, pupils were captivated by a variety of artefacts, gaining insight into how these items shaped the everyday lives of ancient Athenians.

The group followed the historic streets of Monastiraki to the Roman Agora, where they gathered, much like the Athenians of old, in the central forum to share their findings and reflections. The final stop was the awe-inspiring Tower of the Winds, the world’s first meteorological station. Pupils were amazed to learn how it combined a weathervane, water clock, and sundials to track time and weather in ancient times.

It was a day brimming with discovery, curiosity, and hands-on learning about ancient Greece. Our pupils returned filled with new knowledge and unforgettable memories of walking in the footsteps of history.
