Mediocrity was certainly not on the menu on 2 February, as 94 members of our St. Lawrence College community breathlessly watched Peter Shaffer’s AMADEUS, as it was broadcast live from the Olivier Theatre in London, to our very own Megaron!
 
Our ever-growing group of theatre goers watched in awe as the riotous villain, Antonio Salieri, played by Luciano Msamati, plotted the demise of the genius Mozart. The play skilfully brought to life the story of the uninhibited, young prodigy Mozart as he arrives in Vienna, the music capital of the world, determined to make his mark. Amazed and simultaneously tortured by Mozart’s genius, Antonio Salieri, has the choice to either promote Mozart’s talent or to bring about his deeply disturbing end. We all thoroughly enjoyed this larger than life production and watched awestruck as Salieri had to finally admit to and embrace mediocrity.  

St. Lawrence College regularly attends National Theatre Live’s productions in Athens. So far, we have enjoyed: Hamlet, Jane Eyre, No Man’s Land and Dangerous Liaisons.

And that's just the children! On Wednesday, 1st February, Year 4 took themselves off to the Athenaion Cinema in Athens to participate in a 3-D interactive programme all about wildlife in Greece. They learned about the animals and their habitats as part of the children's current unit of study in Science.

The children responded ever so enthusiastically to the experience and answered many questions on the topics explored.  Our little experts did so well in fact, that Nicholas Giannopolous and Leo Droggitis excelled themselves, winning first place out of the three schools who attended the show.

All in all, it was a highly entertaining and super informative experience for these young scientists who are growing up to have an excellent awareness of real-life issues are of relevance to them here in Greece.

Parent – Teacher meeting for Years 7 – 10

On Thursday 26th January, the St Lawrence College boys' basketball team participated in a tournament for Years 7 & 8, hosted by Campion School. Four international schools of Athens participated and our boys triumphed, as they won all three games, getting 1st place!

As always, we are extremely proud, and will see them on the courts again soon.

The pitter patter of little paws were audible in the Early Years section of the Junior School on Friday 27th January at another exciting pet day for our youngest pupils. The children were eager to touch their new found furry friends and they enthusiastically learned how to act sensibly in front of unfamiliar creatures.

Goldie the fish swam in circles - well what else does a fish do? Sarah the cat arched her back as she was gently stroked, and the dogs, Uma and Alvin, were happy to make friends as their wagging tails showed. A caring touch is indeed a welcome touch for man and beast alike!

Find out what it means to me! Well that's what the classes of KS2 were able to do on Friday, 27th January, when Ms Bondiotis' Year 3 class treated everyone to an entertaining performance about the need to respect other people. They took the audience of fellow pupils and family members through a scenario where the awful Mr Rude had to learn an important lesson about why it was so important to treat others as you'd want them to treat you. He changed his mind in the end, didn't he?

What a super job the class did of showing us the way to behave!
