The Church's new primary school at the Archbishop's Seminary in Tal-Virtu has welcomed its first students.

The school, built in 12 months, is considered "a green school" because of the particular attention given to environmental aspects in its design and infrastructure.

The school is spread on 9,000 square metres over four storeys. It has 24 classes, a child care centre for the staff's children, a library, an indoor playing hall, a music room, laboratories, a 300-person hall, space for live-ins and students meetings as well as other spaces.

The school has wifi connectivity, intelligent lighting, insulation and solar heating. It also has a plant room for water recycling

It was built through an €8 million investment financed through an APS loan which has to be repaid over a number of years.
