St. Julian's School

Yesterday, we held our annual Poetry Slam, organised by the English Department. It was incredible to witness the creativity, courage, and raw talent of our students and staff as they took to the stage to share their original spoken word pieces.

Earlier in the day, students also took part in a Writers’ Workshop with Michael Donkor, exploring storytelling, developing ideas, and finding new ways to express their voices - making the Poetry Slam an even more meaningful celebration of creativity.

The Year 12 TOK Exhibition brought knowledge prompts to life through carefully chosen real-world objects.

Each display connected abstract ideas to personal experiences, offering unique perspectives on the nature of knowledge.

Our newly selected Year 6 buddies spent time with our Year 7 student buddies today, preparing for the exciting transition to the Secondary Section.

A huge well done to our current Year 7 buddies, who led much of the training with incredible confidence, maturity and enthusiasm, serving as excellent role models for the Year 6 pupils.

Together with our Head Boy and Head Girl, the Duke planted an oak tree in the Headmaster's Garden, a living marker of the day for years to come. He also spent time with our students and from other international schools working towards their Duke of Edinburgh's Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards, hearing about their volunteering and skills projects.

As he left through The Patio, the children gave him a wonderful send-off, a sea of waving flags. It was a proud day for St. Julian’s.

Months of dedication and hard work culminated yesterday evening at our GCSE Art and DT Exhibition. It was brilliant to watch our Year 11 students confidently break down their creative journeys for visitors, showing the true skill and thought behind every piece on display.

Yesterday afternoon, we welcomed families to our Bilingual Curriculum Open Day, celebrating 90 years of its history! Families enjoyed exploring our unique curriculum and seeing our learning environment first hand.

We would like to thank Irish Ambassador Alma Ní Choigligh for being part of this special visit.
