San Cataldo school tour

The Italian teacher of English and person responsible for the Italian mobility, Arcangelo Falzone, and a deputy of the school Maria Rita prepared a school tour for our international team. It was great to see a different school than we are used to seeing every day and we all enjoyed the tour. We liked the little school very much, our children admired some classrooms, expecially the science classroom with all the telescopes and we went absolutely speechless to hear the performance of the San Cataldo school's orchestra lead by the piano teacher Clara Scarlata. Well done! Thank you very much for this experience, Arcangelo, Maria Rita and Clara!

Presenting "Typical day of a teenager"

Each student prepared a presentation to show a typical flow of an ordinary day in their country. In San Cataldo school, two students from each country presented their day. Here are our presentations and some photos from this activity:

Meeting in Sicily (February 2014)

February 23 - March 2, 2014: Our first mobility took place in San Cataldo, Sicily. The Czech and Turkish group arrived together very early in the morning after a long and tiring journey. At the bus we were welcomed by the Italian families. Some of our students, especially those, who were abroad for their first time, were very nervous and scared. However, they soon learnt that there is no need to worry. On the contrary! The welcoming of our Italian hosts was incredibly kind and warm, we could feel that the Italian children and parents were happy and excited to meet their international guests. The Polish group arrived the next day and we could start working on our planned project activities. First, we met at school and each country introduced their culture. Here are our presentations:

This will be our third Comenius project, Our school offers scholarship to the students who are both academically merit and socio-economically disadvantaged. School’s Role in the Project: Since our school has a well-equipped studio and a professional staff, our role in the project would be invaluable to smooth and professional flow of our project, eMotion Pictures - we are going to do a workshop on how to edit a video to the students and the teachers in this Comenius project. Besides, we are all going to use our studio for filming video introductions and editing them. Our school will lead the role for keeping e-journals and uploading all the documents periodically on the website. We will also organise a cultural visit to the historical places where students can shoot some parts of the film. Apart from that, we will also organise an MUN (Model united Nation) conference during the mobility. In this project, we will also choose students who have scholarships and who are social-economically disadvantaged in our school.
