Today, we celebrate the incredible women who contribute so much to our communities and the world. 🌟

Women's Equality Day is not just a reminder of the strides we’ve made toward gender equality, but also of the work that still lies ahead. It’s a day to honor the women who have broken barriers and to recognize the importance of fostering a world where equal opportunities in education are a reality for all.

As educators, we know how crucial it is to teach our children that anyone, regardless of gender, can achieve greatness. By providing strong role models and nurturing a mindset of equality, we help shape a future where every child believes in their potential.

To all the women who inspire and lead, thank you for making our world brighter every day.

🌟 Happy International Youth Day! 🌟

Today, and every day, we celebrate and support our incredible youth at every stage and age. They are the leaders of tomorrow, full of potential and promise. At Verita, we encourage their dreams, nurture their talents, and inspire their passions daily, knowing that every effort counts towards a brighter future for us all. Here’s to empowering the next generation! 💙

📚 Happy National Book Lovers Day! 📚 Reading is a vital skill that shapes our minds and hearts at every stage of life. In the short term, it enhances our vocabulary, concentration, and imagination. In the long run, it fosters critical thinking, empathy, and lifelong learning.

To truly nurture this love for literature, we need to create "literature-positive" moments in our daily lives. Encourage reading by setting up cozy nooks at home, scheduling dedicated reading breaks, and planning visits to book fairs. These small actions create safe, comfortable spaces where the joy of reading can flourish.

We’re committed to making this a priority and hope you can do the same at home. 📖💙

Friendships formed in school are the magic that sparks socialization, self-expression, and self-discovery. From a young age, these bonds teach us the joy of companionship, the warmth of support, and the beauty of understanding, shaping who we are and who we become.

Through shared adventures, endless laughter, and even the occasional challenge, these friendships help us explore ourselves and the world around us. They inspire us to express our true selves, uncover new passions, and create a sense of belonging. Let's celebrate the friendships that light up our days, enrich our lives, and remind us how wonderful human connection can be. 🌟

Introducing Ms. Margarita, our passionate Year 10 Teacher at Verita Secondary School! 🍎

With 22 years of teaching experience, Ms. Margarita brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to our vibrant learning community. She completed her BA and MA in English and History in the U.K. before finding her home at Verita.

"I find pure joy in discussing literature with my students—it’s a privilege to engage with them and share my love for the written word." - Ms. Margarita

Favourite Book: Macbeth by William Shakespeare 📚
Favourite Subject: Literature

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Margarita for her unwavering support, dedication, and warm presence in our students' lives. Her commitment to nurturing young minds and her infectious enthusiasm make her an invaluable asset to the Verita team.

🌟 Praise vs. Encouragement: What's the Difference? 🌟

Praise is cheering on kids for their wins, celebrating what they've aced. Encouragement? It's all about cheering for the hustle, the effort they put in every day. Both are awesome ways to lift kids up!

But here’s the scoop: While praise can sometimes make kids rely on others' approval, encouragement boosts their confidence in their own abilities. Knowing this difference can help us cheer them on in the best way possible!

Let's celebrate their wins and their grit—because every bit of effort counts! 🙌

🚀🌌 Mission to Mars Accomplished! 🚀🌌

Our little astronauts embarked on an out-of-this-world journey through our solar system, exploring every planet along the way as part of our 'Mission to Mars' IPC unit. Today, they dazzled us all with their stellar presentations! From creating paper mache visuals to donning fabulous costumes, they truly brought the universe to life in our classroom. 🌠

Our Nursery students had a 🔥blaaazin🔥 good time at the fire station with Hellenic Fire Services (.official on ig)!

As the exit part of their 'To the Rescue' unit, they got a firsthand lesson in fire safety, toured a fire truck like pros, and even tried their little hands at playing firefighter by putting out 'fires' with the hose!

Who knew our little ones would be such natural firefighters? Watch out, world—Verita's got some future heroes in the making! 💪😄

“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me...
Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”

This , Shel Silverstein's timeless words remind us that amidst the negativity and doubt, anything is possible if we dare to dream. Let this classic poem inspire us to break free from limitations and embrace the endless possibilities that await. 💫
