1. We are happy to welcome you in our campus. Please read this information
carefully. It will help you to settle as quickly as possible and make your stay as
enjoyable as possible. We are proud to say that our school is one of the most famous
and well–reputed board schools in Britain. In summer it turns into an international
scientific centre. Children from different countries aged 14–16 live and study here for
a month and a half. All our students come here after participating in Maths
competitions in their own countries and in different international mathematical
contests. We are proud to say that new Newtons and Einsteins are among us.
2. The school is located in a quiet historical village. The complex consists of several
buildings. The central and the highest building in the campus is our administrative
centre. Lecture halls, chemical lab, the library and the computer centre are all here
too. To the right of the central building, there are students’ accommodations. All the
rooms are nicely furnished, and there is a satellite TV in the students’ lounge.
To the left of the central building there is a students’ café. Just behind it one can see
an old building made of red brick. It used to be stables, but nowadays sports
equipment like bicycles and boats are stored there.
3. All students have breakfast, lunch and dinner in the students’ café at 8.00, 13.00
and 18.00 correspondingly. Lectures start at 9.00 and last till 13.00. After lunch the
students work in teams on their projects from 14.00 up to 16.00. After that they have
a wide range of various activities to choose from: sports games on the sports ground,
drama lessons, TV, music performances and so on. The day rounds off with disco or
national dances. Students should be in their rooms by 11.00.
4. Most lectures are given by university teachers. Like students, they come from
different countries and represent different universities but all the lectures aredelivered in English. We are sure that you appreciate the diversity. The permanent
staff of the school are always available in the administrative centre. They can advise
you on any academic issues, recommend additional reading on the topics and answer
your questions. If you have any questions, just come and ask.
5. Though it’s summer and holiday time, your lecture attendance is obligatory. You
can miss a lecture only if you are ill and have a doctor’s permission to stay in your
room. Our school doctor is available round the clock in the central office. If you feel
unwell, don’t hesitate to see him.

The Maltese Islands are a group of little islands in the Mediterranean Sea. The
population of Malta is about 400,000 people. In spite of being so small in size, Malta
is quite a famous place and lots of tourists visit it every year.
Tourists in Malta have many kinds of entertainment to choose from. Clear and
warm water is full of marine life and attracts divers and people who enjoy swimming
and sailing. The place is also unique for people who are interested in history and
architecture as there are lots of historical buildings, temples and cathedrals there.
There’s the evidence that the first settlers appeared in Malta about 7,000 years ago,
so this is one the oldest places on the Earth inhabited by people.
The Maltese are proud of their unique history. They survived through the
Arabs and Roman occupation, and they remember the knights of Malta, Napoleon
and Nelson. They do their best to keep their history and traditions and are always
glad to share it with tourists. Band clubs are part of the social and cultural history of
the Maltese Islands. They see their aim in spreading the culture and teaching of
music. The idea of forming some music societies or band clubs appeared in the
second part of the 19th century. Small bands were formed in little villages. Anyone
could join them. As most participants could not afford to buy a musical instrument of
their own, well–to–do villagers helped to pay for the instruments on the condition
that the musicians would perform at their village feasts. Today, according to the
latest survey by the statistics office, the total number of bandsmen/women is over
4000. Many well–known musicians started their career in a local band club and
performed at their village feasts.
