Description
St Ignatius College Ħandaq Middle School
Built alongside the Senior secondary school, the Middle school forms part of St Ignatius College. This school welcomed its first students in September 2012; 10 months after the foundation stone of the school had been laid. Officially the school was inaugurated in March. The new school is spread over 20,000 metres and has 50 classrooms on three floors.
It boasts of four technology workshops, nine science labs, five computer labs, three art labs and three labs for home economics, as well as a main hall for drama and school functions, a library and special rooms for languages, music, graphical communications and guidance and careers rooms. Other special rooms are the literacy room and the quiet room where mass is celebrated weekly. There are two large staff rooms and office administration offices on each floor. A series of energy-saving measures have been incorporated into the school, ranging from the use of solar heaters to intelligent lighting, which adjusts itself to existing natural light and turns itself off whenever a room is empty. School toilet flushing cisterns are filled with rain-water collected in three specially-built reservoirs, which is also used to water the school’s gardens. The school also features photovoltaic panels. There is also a car park catering for approximately ninety vehicles. Old huts which were used by the old school are being converted for use in sports events.
