PASCAL Insight 2013/14

HEADMISTRESS' NOTE
Dear Readers
Another academic year has come to an end for our School; another
amazing and exciting year for PASCAL ENGLISH SCHOOL Larnaka.
As an educational institution, the evidence of our work is sometimes
very subtle. But after eleven years, we have graduates that have
completed their university studies with honours, and have started
their careers. They encourage us and make us proud at the same
time when they contact us via emails, letters or Facebook to let us
know that we made a difference in their lives.
In a world that is changing very fast, we aim to influence and touch
our pupils’ lives. On one hand we offer academic excellence and on
the other hand we provide our pupils with all the other necessary ingredients that will help them become righteous, and socially knowledgeable, human beings.
The seeds we plant every single day in our School are now visible
and we have every reason to feel proud. The magazine you are
holding in your hands is testimony of all the hard work that is carried out by the staff, teachers and parents.
We shall continue to dedicate all our efforts in providing our pupils
with a healthy, happy learning environment so that they can continue to grow and bloom.
Despina Lioliou
Headmistress

The twelfth Hidden Talents’ Evening
was held in our Amphitheatre, here in
Pascal English School Larnaka. The
event was organized by the House of
Poseidon from the three Pascal English Schools in Cyprus; Larnaka, Nicosia and Limassol.
All the performers confirmed that
what is more important beyond the
prizes is the experience gained in preparing for the
evening.
It was truly a wonderful experience where students
from all three schools came together and worked
hard as a team. Through a healthy competition such
as this one, students learn to respect and support each
other. Each school participated with five different
acts.
Our school’s acts were Demetris Phokou 3A (Apollo)
Marina Georgiou 2B (Apollo), Barbara Paschali 5D
(Artemis),Andreas Parpottas 3C and
(Poseidon),Anastasia Koudelli 2B (Apollo).
The second prize went to George Parpottas 2A
(Poseidon).
It is with great pride that we announce that for
the second year in a row, a student of PASCAL
English School Larnaka, has achieved the highest
grade in Cyprus for his/ her performance in the
IGCSE English as a First Language Examinations.
Katerina Kavourides of Year 6 received this distinction for her performance in the June 2013 examination session and was awarded by Cambridge
International Examinations at The Outstanding
Cambridge Learner Awards in February where
“exceptional student performance in Cambridge
examinations is recognized.”
Our warmest congratulations to both her and her
teacher, Ms. Denise Evgeniou
PASCAL English School Larnaka student Michalis Koumi, from 3A, took
part in the Kangaroo Mathematics
Competition on the 22nd of March and
won Silver metal. This is the second
year in a row that Michalis manages to
display a high level of effectiveness in
Mathematics. Congratulations to him
and his teacher.
KAIJU – OUR JUDO TEAM

and charity events.
The latest achievement from the team was at the 2nd International
Judo Tournament on Saturday 24/05/2014 where we participated
with four students and got the following place:
Paula Kosta - 52 kg - Bronze Medal
Our girls did their best, fought with dignity and sportsmanship
and made us proud.
Our team has participated in many tournaments and games during the
past year, always with distinction.

PASCAL English School Larnaka pupil, Kappelou Anastasia took part in the Euro-Quiz
competition on the 6th November 2013 and was selected to take part in the European
Youth Parliament (Euroscola) in Strasbourg. Anastasia managed to score the highest grades
for the multiple choice questions of the 2013 – 2014 Euro-Quiz.
The questions revolved around matters related to education, youth, culture and covered not only
European matters but matters of interest to Cyprus as well. In this competition there were 55
schools which participated voluntarily from all over Cyprus, with a total of 1914 pupils taking
part from Year 5. One winner from each of the 55 schools will have the opportunity to participate
in the European Youth Parliament and our pupil Anastasia Kappelou will be amongst them. The
participation in such a competition ensures the interest of pupils for European and other matters,
and encourages their zeal for general knowledge. This year the U.S. Embassy interviewed over 130 applicants for the 2014 Benjamin Franklin Transatlantic
Fellows Summer Institute. PASCAL English School
Larnaka student, Charalambos Lappas has been selected as one of twenty students to participate in the
ten-day summer institute in Washington, D.C.
This program is designed specifically for Cypriot students and will cover global issues, leadership and media training, collaborative project development, and is
scheduled for July 20-29, 2014.
Our sincere congratulations! Harry Newton, 3A of the PASCAL ENGLISH
SCHOOL LARNAKA, has been selected to represent Cyprus in the European Youth Activation
Summit in Antwerp, Brussels, Belgium in September 2014. Harry will be participating in an
Educational Conference which shall train him as a
leader to be the Ambassador in an Inclusion for
Special Education Athletes Programme in our
country frοm September 12th until September
17th.
Congratulations to Harry Newton! Michalis Constantas of 2A, who

On Monday 23rd September 2013 the students and the
teachers responsible for this year’s clubs gave a short
presentation aiming to promote each individual club.
Years 1 and 2 had their annual overnight trip in the area of
Protaras on Friday 18th October 2013. The students visited
archaeological sights in the area and enjoyed their stay.
This year’s annual celebrations were carried out with great honour in the Founder’s Theatre on Friday 25th October 2013. Students from all years read poems and gave short theatrical performances. We would like to extend our sincere congratulations to
both students and teachers involved, Mrs. Christodoulou Eleni

PASCAL English School Larnaka has set fundamental objectives towards the promotion of activities and charity events that contribute socially to our community and individuals in need, cultivating a humanitarian and voluntary spirit within the students.
On 20th December, 2013, a group of pupils representing PASCAL English School Larnaka escorted by their teachers, visited the Aradippou
Municipal Agora and donated a large number of foodstuffs that was
collected on the school premises. The pupils delivering the food were
able to witness the charitable work being done and developed a real
sense of responsibility and sense of solidarity with others around them.
It is our hope that such initiatives will be continued not only during the
period of Christmas but also throughout the year.

Theatre of PASCAL English School Larnaka.
The Headmistress, Ms. Despina Lioliou gave a short presentation regarding certain key issues concerning our school, focusing on the main characteristics that
make it differ from other private schools in Cyprus. The parents were able to
hear important information and to hear answers to any queries they had about
issues concerning the school, thus acquiring a clear picture of the academic and
humanitarian work that the
school carries out.
Thereafter, the distinguished psychologist and collaborator of
PASCAL Education, Mrs. Tenia

the title: “I am preparing for my
child’s first steps in High school”.

chance to listen to the opinions
and advice of an experienced psychologist, and to be informed on subjects concerning the preparation of their children for high school, to comprehend the role
of parents within this critical time and at the same time to ask various questions.
The presentation, as well as the speech were particularly enlightening.

We would like to extend our sincere
congratulations

teachers involved.
to
and
Parents, teachers and Form 6 students successfully organized a blood donation event
in an effort to contribute their immense love and care to their fellow citizens. The
event took place at the Pascal premises on 19th of March.
Sincere congratulations should be extended to everyone involved, for their support in
organizing the event.
Our students can’t wait to go to year 6 just to
register for this club! A club full of action and
activities which provides students with opportunities which under normal circumstances would
never dare to try!
We started our activities with free diving, go
carting and climbed up to Trooditissa Mountains for top rope climbing.
Students enjoyed every single moment of every
activity and expressed their enthusiasm for the
club as well as their disappointment when the
club finished.
Teachers involved: Ms. Despina Kaittani,
Mr. Gregoris Demetriou, Mr. Socrates Petrides
and Mr. Elpidoforos Anastasiou
The aim of the club was to enable students to work out, improving their overall fitness. The members of the club had the chance
to do something that took their mind off the
stress of the school and at the same time they
managed to improve their aerobic fitness, flexibility and strength.
During the six club days, the instructor, Vaso
Petrou from Elite Sporting Club taught to students some basic steps and techniques of aerobics in order to perform a small choreography.
In addition to that, students had the chance to
do some Tae Bo exercises. The instructor also
discussed with club members about fitness,
encouraging them to continue working out.
Teachers involved:
Ms. Elina Zervou,
Ms. Margarita Theodoulou
The basketball club provided students with a good
physical workout and, most importantly, with the chance to get together and
have fun with their fellow classmates.
Professional
coaching by Elite
Sporting Club helped them to develop
their skills in shooting, dribbling, passing, rebounding, and defense in fast
moving and fast-action games. Moreover, it promoted the idea of being a
good team player and developed social
skills in a safe environment.
Teachers involved:
Ms. Maria Botonaki,
Dr. Simon Philips
There's something
magical about dancing that
makes us feel free. The power
of the dance is that it unlocks a woman's energy
so that her natural beauty just shines through.
Students were told where a dance originates, its
cultural context; when a prop first appeared and
when a move became popular; who taught what
move to whom and how it changed over time. As
far as self-confidence is concerned, belly dancing helps you appreciate and love your body and
become more comfortable with it. Students
through the club days where taught choreographies of oriental dancing.
Teachers involved: Ms. Angela Venizelou,
Ms. Maria Vassiliou.
The first aim
of the Boys’ Fitness Club was
to use the knowledge and the experience of a
nutrition expert; to enlighten the dangers of
fad diets and provide the students with the
abilities to have a balanced and controlled
nutritious diet. The Boys’ Fitness Club was
not only based on muscle exercise and bodybuilding, but also on the knowledge and the
use of a controlled balanced diet. Another
aim of our Club was to give professional advice to our students on how to work out at
the gym with the help of professional trainers, and with the use of body improvement
exercises and aerobic training. We presented
a whole body circuit training that was used
during our training at the gym. Before
workout, all of our students had to warm up
for 10 minutes using a treadmill, a stationary
bike, or some other cardio apparatus. These
exercises were performed in a circuit fashion,
until the students completed one set of every
exercise. In addition, students worked out
various muscle groups (Chest-Triceps, BackBiceps, Shoulders-Legs) throughout the six
club days that we visited the gym.
Teachers involved: Mr. Petros Kimitris,
Mr. Sotiris Panayi.
There was no other
club to delight one’s taste
buds run in our school this year than the Cooking
Club. Our students discovered some of the
world’s most unique flavours on a Real Food
Adventure. It was an extremely appetizing
“journey” that the students not only thoroughly
enjoyed, but also got them craving for more!
Mexico, China, Greece, France and Japan
were the countries we “travelled” to without actually leaving our own country. The students
were introduced to each country’s culture and
cuisine. They got familiar with the variety of
food ingredients and the different methods used
to prepare the traditional dishes of each country.
Special emphasis was given to kitchen safety and
hygiene procedures.
The “Nuevo Mexico” restaurant in Larnaca, Pascal English School in Nicosia, the Chinese Restaurant Shanghai in Kiti, the Greek tavern “ Το
στέκι της παρέας” in Larnaca, the Restaurant
French Rendez-Vous in Larnaca and the Japanese Restaurant Hokaido in Ayia Napa, were the
places where our students, with the help of the
chefs, performed miracles and literally tasted the
fruit of their labors.
We can hardly wait for the club to run next
year!!!!
Teachers involved: Ms. Evey Pistola,
Ms. Frangesca Frangou, Ms. Lena Mahdesian
Our Club was very
interesting. A lot of
students who love to
dance, participated this year
as they had the opportunity to learn different kinds of dance moves and techniques involved in Hip hop, Latin and
Break dance.
LATIN
In Latin dances, the dancers
shift their weight by stepping
leaving the upper body leveled
and unaffected by the weight
changes. The weight shifts cause
the hips to move. Arm and
shoulder movements are also incorporated. It
involves significant movement above the
waist, with up-and-down shoulder movements
and shifting of the ribcage.
BREAK DANCE
Breakdancing is the kind of
dance in which solo dancers
perform acrobatics that involve
touching various parts of the
body (as the back or head) to the ground.
HIP HOP
Our students learnt how to
do the dance step Walk It
Out. ... your arms for balance. As they got more
comfortable with the moves,
they felt free to add in a few hops, jumps and
taps.
Teachers involved: Ms. Maria Evangelidou,
Ms. Evrilia Kiayia
The general aims of
the Futsal Football
Club had been carried out throughout the
year on club days. Firstly, the students
had been informed for the importance of
the sport. Also, they had been taught the
importance of the right nutrition for an
athlete, especially for a football player.
Many of the students were aware of discipline rules during a football match; therefore they had had many football matches,
where they had the chance to practice the
Futsal rules and techniques. Finally, we
had an exciting competition and the winners got gold metals. The students were
very happy and they expressed the will to
join the club next year too!
Teachers involved: Ms. Panayiota Demetriou,
Mr. Andreas Demetri, Ms. Constantina Symeou,
Ms. Maria Theophilou.
This year the girls in the Fitness Explosion Club experienced a wide variety of
body workouts that included circuit training, step aerobics, weight training and
floor exercises. But that wasn’t all! Our
girls were educated about how to work
out correctly to avoid injury and how to
eat correctly so they could enjoy optimum
health. Our Club visited a health food
store where items on the market were
sampled and good eating practice was encouraged.
Teacher involved: Ms. Andri Louca
When a party is
organized, girls need
to feel and look perfect. The excitement to pick the right necklace or
bracelet or set of earrings to wear for the party
in order to dazzle their friends, is nothing compared to the anticipation they feel in making
their own jewellery. It’s unbelievable what the
girls in the Jewellery Making Club created in
the year that’s passed. Throughout the year,
during our meetings, they used several different
kinds of materials and beads and they produced
stylish and fashionable pieces that would even
daze a professional. The girls had an amazing
time and they let their imagination run wild. I
totally agree with the adage "A picture is worth
a thousand words", so look at our photos and
enjoy….! They speak for themselves.
Teachers involved: Ms. Irene AlexandrouPetrou, Ms.
Iliana
Action, exercise,
co-operation, strategy!
The Paintball club offered all that and then
some! Students participating in the club had the
chance to hone their targeting skills using the
special markers shooting paintballs. We visited
Lapatsa and Moni for our Paintballing endeavours, making full use of the multi-level stages
on offer, as well as the Aradhippou course for
Laser tagging, where students had the chance to
battle using sniper, close combat as well as
standard issue rifles using laser beams instead
of, thankfully, real bullets. All in all, fun was
had everywhere, and students and escorting
teacher were all very glad for the experiences
they had!
Teachers involved: Mr. Antonis Themistocleous.
Shooting is the second most popular
international sport. It is an outstanding way to
provide human growth and development opportunities. It also, introduces safe and responsible use of firearms as well as it opens valuable vocational and life-long recreational education. The students who joined our club, were
taught to do safe and responsible use of firearms including sound decision-making, selfdiscipline and concentration. They enhanced
their self-concept, character, personal growth,
understanding of sportsmanship and ethical
behavior.
Leadership skills, safe habits, self-discipline &
self esteem, respect towards each other, and
personal responsibility were some of the disciplines our students gained through their 6-day
exposure of our club.
Teachers involved: Mr. Marios Thoma,
Mr. Elias Kamaratos
The Sport
Variety
Club offered
the chance to
its members to “get away” from lessons and
school by engaging themselves in pleasant
and fun activities. On our visit to Paintball
Lapatsa, the students competed with each
other, had great fun and gained wonderful
experiences. We also visited “DP Sports
Club” in Aradippou, where our female students were given the chance to participate in
an aerobic “frenzy” for a couple of hours,
whereas our male students were really busy
“building some muscles”. Our students had
the chance to learn important nutrition tips.
Our students proved for one more time what
good players they are when the club visited
the K-Bowling Center. In addition, our students visited an Indoor Climbing Center in
Nicosia, where they had an interesting introduction to climbing which comprised theory,
safety and practical instruction. Following
safety rules isn’t always easy but it’s definitely fun. Our club members surely enjoyed
themselves after having participated in a GoCart competition, at Lucky Star Park in

they enjoyed themselves.

The aim of the Tennis
club was to teach the
basic techniques of tennis and to promote sportsmanship and ethical behavior. Theory of tennis and basic techniques and principles were taught by a
professional coach of the Elite Sporting Club. The members of the club
learned to follow rules, be disciplined
and learned to respect their opponents.
At the end of the academic year a tournament took place between pupils in
the Tennis Club.
Teachers involved: Ms. Andri Pentari,
Ms. Maria Kkimitri.
The main objective of the volleyball
club was to equip students with all the skills
volleyball can offer. The students had the
chance to learn basic volleyball techniques
such as serving, passing, smashing and blocking. Each club day a different technique was
being taught and this gave the chance to the
students to practice each technique extensively. Moreover, the students had the opportunity
to improve their teamwork skills by participating in numerous tournaments. Overall, the
objective of the club has been achieved as
some of the students have opted for additional
volleyball practice outside school hours.
Teachers involved: Ms. Christina Thomaidou,
Ms. Yiota Eleftheriou.
Zumba is a combination
of Latin and International music with a fun and
effective workout system. Zumba's choreography incorporated hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa,
merengue, mambo and martial arts along with
squats and lunges. Students acquired
knowledge on how to eat healthily and maintain a healthy lifestyle and due to its relevance
it caught their attention . We began with ample participation from students who appeared
to find it exciting and a great way of letting go
of all stress. .
Teachers involved: Ms. Eleni Christodoulou,
Ms. Artemis Fellas.

Winning Essay Upper School: The Tunnel
The repeated beeping sound of the heart monitor was interrupted by the occasional mumbling prayer as a woman sat crying next to her unconscious husband. The
coma had lasted three months and day by day hope receded further and further. Last
week there had been a breakthrough, a flicker of movement under the eyelids. A sign
that maybe, just maybe, there was life remaining.
His eyes opened and he immediately winced at the harsh white glow emanating
from the overhead lights , reflecting off every polished surface. He could not move,
could not speak, his body did not feel like his own. At that moment memories of the incident three months before overwhelmed him as if they had occurred only seconds ago.
His wife, noticing he was awake sprang to his side as his mouth contorted, he tried to
scream but no sound escaped him. His eyes darted restlessly in all directions then rolled
back as the beeping quickened. His face slackened and there was nothing she could do
to prevent him returning to the coma.
* * *
His mind descended through time to that day three months ago. Race day. It was
a beautiful day, although not in the conventional sense. There were no blue skies or rolling hills, instead there were countless fumes of clouds each painted different shades of
silver and purple. Together they wove an intricate ever-changing pattern across the
skies of Monaco. The sun shone through holes in sporadic bursts down onto the buildings and roads that stretched out in great majesty. An opportunistic ray of light illuminated his race car sending excited bursts of reflected colour out in all directions.
As man and machine completed lap after lap of precision and skill with alarming speed
and dexterity he felt a surge of power and liberty. The tunnel was his favourite section,
a short stretch of closed road with such intoxicatingly high speeds and tight corners. He
wished it would never end.
Approaching lap 35, or was it 45? It could have been 95 it was so involving and
consuming that no amount of time spent driving the track was enough. Drivers always
yearned for more, extra time to perfect that last corner. Above all, the main attraction
of the tunnel was its unforgiving ruthlessness. It punished drivers who weren’t up to
par, in devastating fashion. Any mistakes meant the end. For the more fortunate fools
it meant a crash. For the pitiful others, death was ominously probable.
As it was, he rounded the final corner preceding the tunnel and the car seemed to
stick, the wheels momentarily locking causing dense white smoke to rise up off the
scorched rubber. Just when a collision seemed inevitable, the car lurched forward correcting itself and the wheels straightened. The engine gave a defiant roar and within a
second the tunnel was upon him.
The droning shout of cheering fans became muffled, blocked out by the tunnel until
only a distant buzzing was felt through the ground. Inside there was only darkness except for the strips of faint light overhead. Light or no light, he could navigate this lethal strip of track with his eyes closed. The car gobbled up the gears and its speed
peaked as he rounded the first corner in barely half a second. About to turn into the
second corner, the rear wheels locked once again, the front ones scrambling and writhing desperate to regain control but it was hopeless. He put his face in his hands and
shut his eyes in resignation for he knew what was coming next.
The incredible sight of metal crashing into metal at two hundred and fifty kilometres an hour is a spectacle that is as fascinating as it is deadly. Shapes bent and
curved, shock waves travelled along the walls causing cracks to appear and sparks
danced across the wreckage liked fireworks. The sheer momentum of the speeding vehicle carried it to within twenty feet of the tunnel exit before it ground to a strained
halt.
Protected by his seat shell, helmet and suit he gazed through the exit then down
at himself, his ankle twisted at an impossible angle, then back out of the tunnel. A lone
camera tracked his situation with a solitary red beeping light. On-off. On-off. On-off…
His eyes grew heavy and he fell away into silence.
* * *
Once again he was in a tunnel but this time there was no car, no noise, not even
light. Looking around there was only shifting blackness and an icy breeze. At the end
of the tunnel there was faint daylight and the vague figures of trees and clouds and a
road. He continued on, not by will but through some strange otherworldly obligation.
A beeping started, distant at first but it grew into a piercing cacophony like a thousand
alarm clocks. As he neared the end of the tunnel it pulled him closer. The beeping began to fade, protesting intermittently before it stopped altogether. He stepped out of
the tunnel as the ground dissolved and the sky fell. A bright light consumed everything
and then there was nothing.

The 11 of March 2014 was a special day at Pascal English
School Larnaca: it was the French day.
This year our guest was Mme Chantal Jauneau from the
French Institute in Nicosia (Institut Francais de Chypre).
Visitors could watch a slide show on Paris in the hall and
everybody could hear French songs during the three breaks.
They could also learn about the French monuments, the
French-speaking countries and French cuisine specialties
through the three main bulletin-boards decorated by the
French students.
During period 5 the 1A French class gave presentations
about themselves, their family, their house, their best friend,
their pets and favourite singers or actors.
During period 6 The French 5 students acted a sketch they
wrote themselves , recited a poem by Jacques Prevert “La
Grasse Matinee” and sang « Aux Champs Elysees ». The audience was the 3A
class who also
sang with the
French 5 class
(karaoke) .
During period 7 the IB French 1 students acted 3 sketches
they wrote themselves , recited a poem by Jacques Prevert
“ familiale” “ dejeuner du matin” , « Hamlet » and “Pour faire
la cage d’un oiseau”
and sang
« La ballade des
gens heureux ».
The audience was the
6A class who also
sang with the IB
French 1 class (karaoke).
This year the PES Larnaca European Youth Parliament club, took part in a number a successful events.
In December 2013 our school organized a mini-session and invited PES Limassol and Xenion High School Paralimni to take part in a General Assembly. Topics on current social problems facing Europe today were discussed and voted
on. The mini-session gives new delegates a taste of what a real EYP National
Session is like and prepares them for participation.
Following on from this, a six student delegation was chosen to represent our
school on the Pre-selection day on the 26th April. Our delegation: Natalie Redpath (Y5), Pantelitsa Stavrou (Y5), Lazaros Hadjiforados (Y5), Stylianos
Hadjiforados (Y5), Marilena Papachristodoulou (Y4) and Maria Manentzou, prepared their topic and presented their resolution at the event. During
the Pre-selection day, 22 schools from Cyprus compete and 16 are chosen to
take part in the prestigious annual National Session in August.
Once again our delegations were successful and they have been chosen to represent our school at the 8th National Session at UCLAN this year. Congratulations
to our EYP delegation for all their hard work and we wish them good luck at the
National Session.

Our school took part in the Mathematics Relay competition
that was held on the 31st of January 2014 at the University of Cyprus in Nicosia.
The Mathematics Relay is a very rigorous competition in which most of the top
schools (public or private) take part. The philosophy of the competition is to promote cooperation among students in a competitive environment and to improve
their abilities and skills when they are up against difficult problems in Mathematics as a team.
Every school participating has to send students from all the forms of the lower
school – 3 students from Year 1, 3 students from Year 2 and 3 students from Year
3.
Students of Year 1 are given a problem and they have 15mins to solve it as a team.
Once they have found the solution to the problem, the Year 2 students are then
given a new problem which they have 30mins to solve. Once they have, the Year 3
students are given another one for which they are given 45mins. If any of these
teams finish earlier than the time allocated, the team that follows is given the extra time “earned” by the previous group – hence the title “Relay competition”.
A group of judges grades each answer given by each team of every school and the
ranking among the schools is immediately shown on a screen of the examination
room used. Once the competition is completed, the top 3 schools are awarded with
medals and the CMS Shield is awarded to the highest ranking school. Subsequently all schools are given certificates for their participation.
Participants: Themistoklis Pallikarides 1A, Ellie Panoula 1A, Aggeliki Pantjiarou
1B, Demetris Iasonides 2A, Michalis Constantas 2A, Marianna Maurolefterou 2B,
Anastasia Panteli 3A, Michalis Koumi 3A and Alexey Gorskiy 3A.

Our school took part in the annual Students‟ Convention in Mathematics that took
place between the 7th and 9th of February 2014 at the Coral Beach Hotel in Pafos.
It is a convention in which all schools (public or private) in Cyprus participate. The
aim is for students to present original work on a particular field in Mathematics.
The team that represented our school consisted of Maria Kagkeli, Anastasia Kappelou, Andrea Rafaela Nicolaidou and Antoni Georgiou, all from 5A.
The topic of our project was „Από το τανκ τοσ Ντα Βίντσι στα τανκς τοσ Χίτλερ’. A
draft (summary) was sent to the CMS and after approval students composed an extended work/project and presented that at the Convention. The vast majority of
Mathematicians in Cyprus attends the particular Convention and the students
were given the chance to present their work to people of high caliber in the field of
Mathematics which was quite challenging and intriguing.
At the end of the Convention, the students taking part received a certificate that
shows their participation – something that is a great addition to their student CV.
All the projects will be published by CMS as a special edition with the title: CMS
Annual Students‟ Convention Publication.

Our school took part in the Mathematics Olympiad that was held on the 6th of
April 2014 at the Vergina High School in Larnaca.
It is a very challenging competition in which the better students (depending on 1st
semester grades) from each school (public or private) take part (Years 1-6).
The aim is to bring such students up against harder problems in the field of Mathematics in relation to what academic year they are in. The examination paper consists of 30 multiple choice Mathematical questions/exercises/problems in both English and Greek. Each student has 1 hour to answer all questions. Every correct answer gives 4p and every incorrect answer deducts 1p from the total mark of each
student. Once the examination papers are marked by the members of the CMS, a
ranking is formed amongst the students participating, in accordance to what academic year they are in. The top ranked students receive gold, silver and bronze
medals and other high achievers receive credit awards. The ranking is then released and it is a great honor for a school to have sent students to this competition
and receive a medal or a credit award on such a Mathematics competition.

The competition originates from Australia and this is why it has that name.
It was introduced to Europe in 1994 and now more than 40 countries from all over the
world take part in it.
Cyprus has entered the competition in October 2006.
The competition is held annually on the third Thursday of March.
The main aim of the competition is to promote Mathematics in a fun way, without any
ethnic or social discriminations.
Any student can take part in it (grades are not taken into account as they are for the
Mathematics Olympiad).
The questions are based on logical combination and not the strict implementation of
mathematical formulae.
It is executed in 75 minutes as a multiple choice test, consisting of 30 questions (3-point,
4-point and 5-point).
The questions for years 1-4 are 25.
The correct answer gets 1 point, 0 points are awarded for not answering and a quarter of
the points on each wrong answer is deducted from the total of each paper.
Each participant is given 30 base points (24 for years 1-4) to begin with and the maximum he/she can achieve is 150 points (120 for years 1-4).
The countries do not compete among themselves – the results are compared internally for each participating country
and the
prizes are
regulated and organized nationally. One
student from our school took part in that
competition and won Silver metal,
Michalis Koumi from 3A.
.
It was with feelings of great pride that both teachers and
pupils watched the celebration for our National ‘OXI’
day, organized by the Greek Department’s Ms Angela
Venizelou and Eleni Christodoulou on the 26th October.
Pupils from all classes participated with dances, singing,
poetry reciting, as well as short plays regarding the time
period. This gave the chance to all the students in our
school, regardless where they were from, to realize the
feat that Greece managed
during the onset of World
War 2, and also give them
an idea of the undying
Greek spirit, a spirit
which became renowned
through time.
Two National Celebrations, each marking
the beginning of a struggle by two nations
that never felt like they were really two, but
one and the same. 25th March marks the beginning of the Greek Revolution against the
long-term enslavement under Turkish rule, a
struggle that they managed to win despite
being severely outnumbered, outgunned and
out-trained. One thing they were not losing
in, though, was courage. The Greek spirit
once again took charge, leading thousands
against the hundreds of thousands of the Ottomans, bringing them to their knees.
The 1st April 1955 is an important day to all Cypriots,
since it was the day Georgios Digenis chose to initiate
the struggle against the British occupation, since Cyprus was, up to that point, a part of the British Empire.
Similar to the Greek Revolution, the young Cypriots
were outgunned and outnumbered but lead by the Greek
spirit and the thirst of freedom managed in four years to
force the British to grant Cyprus its independence. Students had the chance to be reminded, or learn, both of
the important historical moments that, although staged
130 years apart, shared much in the way they were carried out.
Science Fair 2014
After a long preparation which started in December the finalists in the annual Pascal Education
Science Fair went to Lefkosia to take part in the final.
The competition was stiff with many worthwhile
projects from all three Pascal Schools being on show,
ranging from clever ways to use renewable energy, to
the depiction of everyday scientific phenomena.
One could sense the tension in the air among students as the time for them to present to the competition judges approached. It was particularly
nerve-racking for Form 3 students who had to do a verbal presentation to a panel of judges, using nothing more than 3 slides and their voice.
The following students were chosen this year to represent our school in the final, with Mariana Vikendiou coming away with second place:
Gabriela Ilieva -1A (Hydroponics), Themis Palikarides 1A- (Crystal making), Agathi Charitonidou 1B (Hydroelectric energy), Spyros Myltiadous -1B
(Veggie Electric Power), Angeliki Pantziarou 1B(Flower Fertilisation), Alexandra Sergi 1B- (Soap Making), Irini Erakleous 1B- (Motors), Marianna Vikendiou 2A- (Static Electricity), Andria Theodosi 2B- (Tornadoes), Emily Michael 2B- (Factors affecting rusting), Alexey Gorskyi 3A- (Static Electricity),
Asal Ansaripour 3A- (Influence of Solar Magnetic field
on cosmic rays), Antonis Anastasiou 3C- (Renewable
Energy), Katerina Andreou 3B- (Fire Whirls), Christina
Argyrou 3C- (Volcanoes), Andreas Parpottas 3C- (Earthquakes).
Congratulations to all students for their efforts.
PASCAL English School Larnaka has successfully organized the Second

experiences from the tournament.
On Thursday, 10th October,
our school held its annual
Sports Day at the GSZ Stadium. The games included both
track and field activities and,
true to the spirit of our school,
many of our students, from all
classes, participated in the
games, either for fun or to really show their abilities where it
counts.
The day was sunny from the
get-go so much sweat was in
order, both from the competitors and the observers from the
stands, however, much fun was
also had, marking the day as
another success in our school
year.
On 19th of February the Pancyprian School swimming games were held in
Limassol Olympic swimming pool. Our school participated with three upper school students. Our student Iasonides Constantinos of year 5 took second place in 200m free-style race with the amazing time of 2:10:09, an
improvement of 3 whole seconds over his last year’s time in the same competition.
On March 28th our school participated in the Pancyprian Games held at the
G.S.P. National Stadium, in Nicosia, with our student Vasilis Vasiliou of 6D. Despite being faced with fierce competition, Vasilis eventually ranked first overall
in the pole vault competition.
At the 3rd Nicosia-Larnaka Regional Archery tournament for the 2013-2014 championship, that took place in Larnaka on Saturday, January 25 2014, PASCAL English School

100 pupils from PASCAL English School Larnaka volunteered to assist in the Ayia Napa
Futsal Tournament held from Saturday 12th April until Tuesday 15th April from 8:00 am
until 8:00 pm. It was an amazing experience for the volunteers and their efforts are to be
commended.
The aims of this pioneering program that will begin in the school year 2014-2015 are to
enable students who participate as athletes in high levels of competition to keep training
to the high levels that their standards require, making full use of our top-of-the-line sports
facilities, whilst simultaneously being offered a high level of education, enabling them to
apply for a place to any University they would like to when their six-year study period
comes to an end.
This year the school’s facilities have been upgraded
even further by constructing
four football pitches with
artificial turf and lighting of
300 lux.
Enriching our sports facilities by resurfacing the
basketball and volleyball
courts with a synthetic
floor and incorporating a
tennis court and a handball court in the basketball
court is in the pipeline.
Elite Sporting Club started operations in September 2013 in Pascal English School’s
sports facilities aiming to offer to people of all ages a wide variety of sports and activities. Football, basketball, swimming, martial arts, dancing, art are to name but a few of
the activities on offer, all taught by experienced teachers and trainers, offering highquality services.
