Learning through meaningful action
Staff, students and parents take an active role in our projects, working together to fulfil outcomes, goals and expectations while developing values that extend beyond the classroom.
Projects that enrich learning and responsibility
St. Francis School Birkirkara prides itself in taking part in various projects, such as Ekoskola, Dinja Waħda and Let’s Talk Farming. Staff, students and parents alike take an active role in these projects and do their best to fulfil the various outcomes, goals and expectations. In fact, we have always achieved excellent results in all projects. Besides these projects, the school is often involved in Erasmus projects to give educators the opportunity to enrich their pedagogical and methodological processes.
EkoSkola
EkoSkola is a dynamic programme that empowers students to become responsible citizens and active change agents for a more sustainable world.
Through action-based learning, students develop the skills, values and attitudes needed to make a positive difference for the environment.

Through Dinja Waħda, pupils are encouraged to appreciate nature, protect biodiversity and take practical steps towards environmental conservation.
The programme helps students understand their role in caring for creation and promoting sustainable choices.

Let’s Talk Farming promotes farming and food production through engaging educational activities across schools.
Our school has proudly participated in this programme, helping students gain knowledge, appreciation and practical skills through hands-on, real-world experiences.
