Final whistle for physical activities project

This past year has been exciting, breathtaking as well as challenging for the pupils and staff at St Joseph Mater Boni Consilii School, Paola.

Our three-year-long Comenius project 'Team working, Solidarity, Tolerance and Fair Play through Physical Activities' reached its the climax with a 'Fun Games Day' organised by the Comenius team for all the school's pupils and staff, also marking the end of the 'Be Healthy - Get Active Campaign' launched last September.

The final project partners' meeting took place in Celles, Belgium, last April at which Bernardette Theuma and I as project co-ordinator were present, together with participants from the partner schools in Belgium, Wales, Ireland and Italy.

At the project meeting, which took the form of a workshop, the participants presented and evaluated the work carried out throughout the project, after which they presented a poster giving an overview of the activities held in their respective schools.

During the three-day visit the participants from the various countries also discussed their diverse educational systems and attended numerous activities prepared by the pupils and staff of the various Belgian schools.
