This year’s HYROX Challenge continued its tradition of combining competition with community engagement, raising funds for Hospice Malta, which provides free palliative care and comprehensive support to individuals with life-limiting illnesses and their families. The money will also contribute to the opening of St. Michael Hospice, Malta’s first dedicated palliative care center.

Alexia Demicoli, Chief Relations Officer at Hospice Malta, expressed her appreciation: “We are truly grateful for the generosity of everyone involved in the 3rd edition of the HYROX Challenge. A big thank you to the amazing organizers – Junglebox, Warehouse, and Garmin Malta – for organizing this event once again. The funds raised will enable us to continue providing free palliative care to over 1,500 patients. Every contribution makes a real difference in the lives of our patients and their families.”

17,000 Students & 3,000 Educators Enter Local Church Schools

Sep 25 2024

Around 17,000 students and over 3,000 educators began the new school year in Malta and Gozo’s 55 Church schools, spanning kindergarten to sixth form.

Approximately 120 educators are experiencing their first year in a Church school, and as part of their preparation, the Secretariat for Catholic Education held meetings emphasizing quality education and respect for human dignity.

Educators were reminded that their presence and work embody Christian values within the school community.

Over the summer, Church schools underwent maintenance and improvement works to enhance the learning environment. Some educators also received training in new teaching methods aimed at improving student outcomes.

The Secretariat continued working during the summer, including adjusting educator salaries in line with a newly signed collective agreement.

Although discussions between Church Authorities and the Malta Union of Teachers (MUT) are still ongoing, it has been agreed that educators will receive back pay in December 2024, and salary improvements will take effect in January 2025 under the new agreement.

This year, around 2,000 new students joined Church schools, while more than 4,000 applications were received from students seeking entry into these schools across Malta and Gozo.
