Over the past few weeks various schools recently have been organising plays as part of their Prize Day ceremonies. At Rabat Girls' Secondary School, which forms part of St Nicholas College, put up a play on bullying entitled Mal-Bikja tal-Vjolin, written by Phyllis Cauchi.

The prize-giving ceremony was presided by Parliamentary Secretary for Health Joseph Cassar, while College principal Anthony Sammut, and Rabat mayor Sandro Kraus, distributed prizes on behalf of the college, and the council.

Meanwhile, this year has been declared as the year of the astronomical science students at St Theresa College's Birkirkara Primary School decided to put up The First Kids in Space, a musical by Debbie Campbell as part of its Prize Day.

The fun space adventure musical performed by all the Year 4 children, which was full of information on the history of travel, technology, space food, the solar system, and relationships with other beings, concerned a group of young space cadets sent on a dangerous mission to Moon Base X to fix a team of out-of-control robots.

Preparations for the musical entailed numerous rehearsals involving the children, four teachers and three learning support assistants while most of the props were manufactured from recycled materials such as left-over wires, old computer floppy disks, electrical plugs and plastic bottle caps, while biodegradable plastic bags were used for the choir costumes.

A group of students from St Ignatius College's Girls' Junior Lyceum, Blata l-Bajda, performed excerpts from the musicals Les Miserable, Notre Dame de Paris and Sister Act to celebrate the school's Prize Day.

This was followed by speeches by Parliamentary Secretary for Youth and Sport Clyde Puli, representing the Minister of Education, and school head Victor Agius and the distribution of prizes to students. Book tokens were distributed by director School Resources Paul Attard.

Ex-school heads Mary Carabott, Ninette Borg Grech, Carmen Bonello and Maria Debono also attended the event.

St Benedict College's Girls' secondary, Tarxien, complemented its Prize Day celebration with two performances of the play The Lion King translated into Maltese by Trevor Zahra.

The cast of L-Iljun Sultan consisted of 30 talented students, all of whom are members of the school's drama club within the school. The acting and dancing was complemented by singing, both solos by the young actors as well as by the school choir.

Students also contributed to prepare the set and props and making of costumes.
