The Għaqda Mużikali Marija Assunta of Gudja congratulates both the principal, Raymond Portelli, and the staff of St Benedict College at Kirkop for their initiative in organising, for the second year running, the Festa Komunità, on May 25.
This community gathering allows students, parents, residents of the southern part of Malta and band clubs to come together for an enjoyable evening in a relaxed environment. No official talks or mind-boggling discussions, just an open agenda for each and everyone to bring up any subject s/he may deem fit for the common good of their children and the teaching staff.
Healthy snacks, prepared by the college catering staff, and soft drinks were available at a rather low cost with proceeds going towards a charitable institution.
Eight band clubs formed a mass band to entertain the guests with traditional marches and a short musical programme.
