History through Sport is an activity launched this year by the Sport Promotion Unit where it combines the academic subject of History and physical activity for Form 2 students in the historical background of Mdina.

The Sport Promotion Unit trekking programme aims are:

To promote trekking activities as a means of education on the Maltese and cultural endowment and promote environmental responsibility.

To promote confidence and enjoyment among Maltese students.

To promote a healthy life style and to increase physical activity among young citizens.

To develop awareness of safe practices as regards to outdoor activities.

To develop personal and social skills in the students’ development.

To develop a sense of leadership and build long-lasting relationships.

To establish and to preserve the right to access to the open countryside and coastal zones.

During such activities students have lots of fun learning new things and exploring new horizons.

The Outdoor programme offered to year 6 students consists of trekking, tent pitching, orienteering and learning some knots. For most of the students it will be their first experience in such activities.

The first phase of the inter schools basketball tournament for senior schools boys & girls was organized today at Ta’ Qali.

15 schools from different colleges applied for today’s qualifier event which the first two teams will represent state schools in the Basketball Finals to be held in May.

All schools were well prepared by their teachers and a high level of fair play was shown by students. This tournament was organized by the Sport Promotion Unit of Sportmalta.

Matul is-sena ddieħla SportMalta ser tkun qegħda tagħmel investiment kapitali ta’ 10 miljun Ewro biex ttejjeb l-infrastruttura tal-Kumplessi fi ħdanha.  B’dan il-pass SportMalta se tkompli tikkonsolida l-ħidma li nbdiet f’dawn l-aħħar sentejn.
