Floriana Primary school is one of the oldest schools in Malta and is situated in the centre of the town right behind the Parish Church dedicated to St. Publius. The first admission register shows that the school started admitting pupils as far back as 1893. The school has been named after the first President of the Malta Union of Teacher (Antonio Galea) and this is rightly so as the first meeting of the MUT was in fact held at this school on the 22nd November 1919.
There was a time when the school population was quite big and children from various localities in Malta attended this school. Nowadays, only children from Floriana and some children from Valletta attend Floriana Primary school.
The school population has stabilised itself to one class per year so that now there are: 7 Primary school classes, one Kindergarten 1 group and one Kindergarten 2 group. The total school population stands at 138. The number of personnel (staff ) is 18: A Head of School, 7 Primary School teachers, 5 Kindergarten Assistants ( 3 of them assigned to pupils with Special Educational Needs) 2 Supply Kindergarten Assistants in charge of children with special needs , one part-time clerk and 2 general hands (caretakers ).
The curriculum of the school is the National Minimum Curriculum. However various activities are organized by the school involving:
| a) |
visits to places of historical interest like Valletta , Vittoriosa, Ghar Dalam, Hagar Qim and Mnajdra, etc. |
| |
|
| b) |
visits to exhibitions such as Crib exhibitions , Good Friday exhibitions |
| |
|
| c) |
Outings to a number of important gardens such as Argotti , San Anton Garden and Buskett Gardens. |
Pupils also attend plays organised by the Drama Unit of the Education Division at St.Vincent de Paule and at the Drama Centre at Blata l-Bajda. It is however worth mentioning that All school pupils are encouraged to take part in music and drama activities organized by the school on the occasion of The Christmas Concert for all parents and on Prize Day.
All pupils are expected to take part in project works organized by each class. Various themes are chosen for these projects, especially themes connected with the environment.
It is important to note that the school has a very active School Council. The Council does its best to raise funds which are then used for the benefit of the pupils. It has bought hundreds of books for the Main School Library and has also organized a corner library in each class. Every year the Council organizes a free of charge " Healthy Breakfast " session in order to teach pupils about healthy food.
