Skolasajf will once again
be welcoming children during the summer months of 2020. This year the theme
will be ‘My Planet, My
Home’, reflecting the need to be responsible citizens that take
care of planet Earth. It is this very responsibility which will earn us the
privilege to remain living safely; a healthy Earth determines our future as
healthy citizens.
This year
Skolasajf will run between 1st July 2020 and 4th September
2020. The service will run for ten weeks from Monday to Friday, from
08:30 till 12:30 hours. An extended service for working
parents will also be offered in selected centres, from 07:00 till
08:30 and 12:30 till 17:30 hours.
The work to make the
Skolasajf service run smoothly started in earnest from months before. In
fact, February 2020 saw the opening of the Skolasajf Job Vacancies.
The calls are still open and anyone who is interested to apply for any of
the various roles can do so via the link https://recruitment.fes.gov.mt/ . The deadline for each
call is listed accordingly.
This link takes the
applicant to the FES Recruitment portal, which presents the visitor with a
list of all the available roles and the corresponding job descriptions.
Skolasajf workers will
be instrumental in the implementation of the Skolasajf Programme. The activities presented in this
Programme Manual bring to the attention of the Skolasajf 2020 participants, a
number of sub-themes that together help everyone appreciate the beauty of our
planet, which is also our home. Failure to take care of it and all that makes
it our home, will be the onset to tearing down the walls that protect us.
This year the programme
will have a number of modifications to help mitigate the conditions brought
about by the COVID-19 situation. The measures being taken are in line with the
current directives as issued by the Health Authorities. Should these directives
change, our service will change accordingly
The modifications to the
programme include the elimination of any outings, concerts, open days, activities
of mass groups, mixing between classes, and any form of games that include
contact between the players. Students will do activities which are class based,
taking in consideration social distancing and avoidance of possible times of
cross contamination.
Other centre based
activities include participation by partners, who visit the centres
and organise activities according to their remit.
FES would also like to
bring to the attention of its clients and service users, that all possible health
and safety measures will be taken to ensure the wellbeing of children, staff,
and guests alike. These include the use of PPE, compulsory temperature readings
for anyone entering the centre, advocacy for frequent washing and sanitisation
of hands, frequent cleaning and sanitisation of the furniture and premises, and
only officially authorised persons will be allowed in the centres.
