Mocks and Seminars

Some information for those of you taking exams in May. Our Mock exams till the end of the year will be as follows: Mock 3 3/3, Mock 4 31/3 and Mock 5 28/4. If there are any changes I'll let you know.
Also, during the Easter break, probably the second week, we will be holding seminars for the ECCE and ECPE Oral exams. This will be in collaboration with the Hellenic American Union. You will be given tips on how to handle the oral exams and some real practise by a HAU representative.
Another service with a smile just for you!

A Well Earned Achievement

After about five years of very hard work and countless obstacles invoving lack of materials, lack of support by the state, lack of support, knowledge and a willingness to learn more about the problem of the visually challenged by various exam servers, I am very happy to announce that we are VICTORIOUS!
Argiris, our visually challenged student has been awarded the CAMBRIDGE FIRST CERTIFICATE.
A huge CONGRATULATIONS to Argiris for his amazing efforts, to his family for believing that this could be done in a country where special people are often overlooked and rarely encouraged, to his family again for believing in us at MLC and placing their trust in us. Another big congratulations to the teachers that worked with Argiris because each lesson required extra preparation. Thank you also for helping me to prepare all the material necessary for the lessons in digital form and finally a very big THANK YOU to the British Council and Cambridge ESOL for being sensitive to the needs of the blind and creating a format of the exam that caters to their needs but assesses them as equals to all other candidates.
WELL DONE TO ALL OF US!

School: hours wasted or wisely spent?

I don't know about the rest of you but it seems that every time I turn on the TV I am blasted by negativity, depressing predictions and generally doom and gloom. People are living below the poverty line, there is an alarming increase in the number of homeless and so many decent people trying to eke out an existence on next to nothing. What has this country come to? We are facing difficulties through no fault of our own. We have to stand tall and fight back with our minds. We need to keep our eyes and our minds open, question rather than blindly accept and the road to that is through education. Our heavy artillery is our qualifications! So...school, lessons, certificates,qualifications....arm yourselves kids. You need school now more than ever! From now on I want to see more passion for learning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
