🥾 Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Expedition Success! 🏕️

Congratulations to our nine Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award participants on successfully completing their Bronze Qualifying Expedition in the breathtaking Scottish Highlands!

During the expedition, our pupils navigated independently, carried all of their own equipment, camped in remote locations and worked together to overcome the challenges of life in the outdoors. Throughout the journey, they demonstrated outstanding resilience, teamwork, leadership, determination and independence.

Completing their expedition during our visit to Gordonstoun made this achievement even more special. Gordonstoun shares a unique connection with the Duke of Edinburgh's Award through its founder, Kurt Hahn, whose philosophy of outdoor education, service and personal development inspired Prince Philip to establish the Award.

Very few pupils in Cyprus have the opportunity to complete their Bronze Qualifying Expedition in Scotland, making this an exceptional and truly unforgettable experience.

We are incredibly proud of all nine participants on reaching this significant milestone in their Duke of Edinburgh journey. Congratulations on an outstanding achievement!

Between Thursday 25th June and Friday 26th June, our School was delighted to host an Erasmus+ Invited Expert Training on Artificial Intelligence in Education, co-funded through our Erasmus+ Accreditation (KA121).

Led by Dr Petros Georgiakakis, Digital Education Academic and AI specialist, the two-day hands-on training equipped over 40 members of staff with practical AI tools, innovative methodologies and classroom strategies to enhance teaching and learning. Our educators explored AI chatbots and agents, AI-aware lesson design, Brisk Teaching, NotebookLM, AI tools for differentiation, creative content generation, quiz makers, transcription tools and the ethical and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence in education.

The highly interactive workshop provided teachers with the opportunity to test a wide range of AI platforms and develop practical resources that they can confidently integrate into their classrooms from the next academic year.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr Petros Georgiakakis for an inspiring and outstanding professional development experience, and to all our colleagues for their enthusiasm, engagement and commitment to innovation.
