Saturday Schooling
From its inception in 1907, St Aloysius College never held classes on Wednesday but instead on Saturday morning, making it the only school in Malta to do so. On October 13, 2006, a decision was made by Maltese Jesuit Provincial Fr. Paul Chetcuti and College rector Fr. Patrick Magro to replace Saturdays with Wednesdays in an attempt to conform to the practice of other schools. In the view of some, this resulted in St Aloysius' College losing its uniqueness. The change took effect in September 2007, when St Aloysius' College adopted the same schedule as its fellow Sixth Forms, De La Salle College (Malta), Junior College (Msida), Giovanni Curmi Higher Secondary School (Naxxar) and the new St. Martin's College Sixth Form (Swatar - Msida), which opened in September 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words saturday and/or schooling:
“The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“The old saying of Buffon’s that style is the man himself is as near the truth as we can get—but then most men mistake grammar for style, as they mistake correct spelling for words or schooling for education.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
