Green spaces are essential for human health and lengthen life expectancy. Unfortunately, green areas on the Maltese Islands are very limited. Thus, it is imperative to increase awareness about the importance of having parks and green spaces in our environment. In order to contribute towards this goal, the school is planting more trees and flowers. Furthermore, each class has its own green section where herbs, flowers and vegetables are cultivated. One of our missions is to induce love, dedication, and appreciation for growing our own crops. Such an initiative can create a positive mindset towards the production of crops whilst also encouraging self-sufficiency.

Climate change is disrupting weather patterns leading to unreliable rainfall, aggravating water scarcity and easier contamination of remaining fresh water supplies. Such impacts can drastically affect the quantity and quality of water that all living things need to survive especially for countries like Malta. What previously were all year-round water holes, sought by tired migrating birds, are now drying up. The Maltese Islands are dependent on a constant rainfall which feeds the water table and lack in consistency is resulting in less water seeping through the rocks. According to the Maltese Islands Weather website, ‘rain over the course of February 2022 was very scarce. In fact, it was among the driest ever’.
