Education Hub, Msida
EHM aims to enhance the students’ right and ability to access a holistic educational experience whilst being empowered to exceed expectations and surpass any limitations they may encounter. The foundations of the school are flexibility and sensitivity towards each young person.
Thus, it strives to provide the appropriate programme for each student and inspire positive change. The students who attend this school come from different environments and backgrounds and as a result they have all been exposed to various situations which hinder their learning process.
Hence, the programme offered, emphasises on personal development and discipline, as well as employability skills. The level of education is secondary level and nearly each student gets individual attention, because the school population is made up of 16 students as well as 20 members of staff.
The teaching approach is based on hands-on activities and experimental learning. The decision of having small groups in each class has helped to create the proper setup for the young adults to be able to discover their strengths and build on them.
This also enhances a community atmosphere.
Amongst the values that the school constantly promotes, respect and tolerance take priority. The ultimate goal
is that the students are given the necessary tools that will inspire them to pursue their studies or get a proper employment which gives them the dignity they deserve. Motivation to join project: EHM is a proactive school with a strong sense of initiative. Our motivation to be part of this project stems from our willingness and efforts (as a school) to help our pupils be good citizens that possess the necessary abilities to integrate in society. find new When we came across the partner schools of this project, we realised that having a project which would bring together the different pupils of our school could lead to very positive outcomes which target the needs of same pupils. We therefore decided to proceed with our project idea. Key People: Emanuel Fenech who is the Head of
the school will be the key person for this project for EHM. Mr. Fenech has ample experience when it comes to management and dealing with young people that have a challenging behaviour.
In the event that Mr. Fenech leaves his post at EHM, the project will then be taken over by the Assistant Head of
the school, Mr. Noel Callejla. Specific Experience or Expertise: EHM's staff has a high level of knowledge and expertise in promoting positive behaviour, emotional well-being and educational engagement of students.
