BRIEF HISTORY AND DISCRIPTION OF THE SCHOOL |
|
| The building of Luqa Primary School was completed in 1930 and on the 15th of September of the same year it proudly welcomed its first cohort of learners. In 2001, the school underwent a major refurbishment programme. Except for the façade, the 75-year-old school was practically re-built from scratch. Following the latter renovation programme, the school has a total cohort of 24 classrooms, a Kindergarten section, administration offices, a public library, a clinic, a resource room, a gym, well-equipped rooms for science, literacy, music and art, and a multi-functional hall, which homes 250 persons. There is also a 5-a-side football pitch with artificial turf. The current school population is of approximately 350 students, of whom 130 attend Kindergarten. | |
