Sir M.A. Refalo Centre for Further Studies, a post-secondary in the heart of Victoria, Gozo, organises a variety of complementary-curricular activities as part of its holistic learning programme.
Among these are the educational talks for students run by the Health and Safety department, led by Mr Kenneth Scicluna, Education Officer H&S. The talks, organised by the health and safety teachers, Mr Andrew Dimech and Mr Charles Daniel Saliba, are intended to serve as eye-openers.
The first guest speaker was Mr Mario Camilleri, HSBC Branch Manager at Victoria, who delivered a speech about internet and mobile scams, plastic money and fraud, as well as the responsibilities involved with loans and cards, both debit and credit.
In the near future, the school will host other qualified guest speakers to talk about issues that affect young people, including road safety, drug and alcohol problems, internet safety and social media threats.
