Meanwhile, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is also in pre-production. Filming is set to begin in November 2024, with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci all returning.

Lasallian Colleges To Admit Girls In Junior School Next Year

Oct 7 2024

The two Lasallian colleges in Malta, De La Salle College and Stella Maris College (including St Benild School), will begin admitting girls to their junior schools starting next academic year, Times of Malta reported.

This marks the start of an 11-year transition towards co-education across all their primary and, eventually, secondary schools.

De La Salle College already admits girls at the sixth-form level, but from next year, Year 1 classes will be equally split between boys and girls.

Admissions will follow the standard Church School ballot process, organised by the Curia, while other year groups will remain boys-only.

The gradual introduction of co-education will continue year by year.

The senior schools will welcome their first cohort of girls in Year 7 (Form 1) in the 2031/32 academic year, with the full transition expected to be complete by 2035/36.

The decision was made by the Board of the Trust of the Brothers of the Christian Schools (De La Salle Brothers) in Malta, following extensive consultations with staff, parents, and students. The colleges aim to create a more inclusive learning environment while maintaining their Lasallian values.
