As part of World Water Day, students from four classes across SGPC Marsa Primary, Marsa Induction Hub and The Archbishop’s Minor Seminary took part in an art initiative exploring the importance of water and sustainability.
Over the past weeks, students worked on a series of artworks reflecting what water means to them. For some, water represented access to clean drinking water, while others focused on its importance for plants, animals and ecosystems. Through their creativity, students expressed a wide range of perspectives, showing how water plays a vital role in everyday life across different parts of the world.
The initiative provided students with an opportunity to step outside the traditional classroom setting, engage with an important environmental topic, and collaborate with their peers.
The programme culminated in an exhibition launch held on Friday 20th March at the Għajn Centre, where the winning students were announced and recognised for their efforts.
Award winners included:
• 1st Prize – Ella El Houni (SGPC Marsa Primary)
• 2nd Prize – Hailey Bugeja (SGPC Marsa Primary)
• 3rd Prize – Kalea Agius (SGPC Marsa Primary)
• 4th Prize – Sven Scerri (The Archbishop’s Minor Seminary), Luka Rakic (The Archbishop’s Minor Seminary), Katrina A. Biao (SGPC Marsa Primary)
Runners-up:
Ankit Prasad (SGPC Marsa Primary), Noela Bang (SGPC Marsa Primary), Naomi Ellul (SGPC Marsa Primary), Luca Theuma Castelletti (The Archbishop’s Minor Seminary)
Following the launch, the students’ artworks were exhibited at the Għajn Centre throughout the weekend, attracting a number of visitors.
Furthermore, these artworks are now eligible to be considered for WAMU-NET, an international initiative supported by UNESCO. This global digital platform raises awareness about water heritage, pollution and sustainability by engaging children from around the world.
