St. Benild School Celebrates its Patron Saint - the Traditional Way

The day kicked off with an online school assembly to commemorate the life of the saint.  Students experienced features of a traditional Maltese village feast. The school was decorated with banners, tinsel and flags. The feast included the grand entrance of our children carrying a portrait of the school's patron saint. Members of Spinola Band Club regaled all present with traditional march music. Shredded used paper filled the air whilst the children joyfully jumped in the playground. Social distance was strictly adhered to; having only one class celebrating at a time ensured ample space in the open air playground.

Various hands-on activities elicited participants to relive the life and times of 18th Century France. The boys were thrilled to receive a souvenir keychain.
