St Aloysius' College (Malta) - The Sixth Form

The Sixth Form

St. Aloysius' College Sixth Form has been in existence for the best part of 30 years. The Sixth Form offers four major courses, these being the Science Course, Maths Course, Commerce Course and Arts Course, each taking around two years. All courses are assigned two classes each, the exception being the Arts Course with three classes, as the number of applications for it is generally higher. The college accepts around 220 new students per annum, provided that they have passed their core subjects at O Level. The college is well-equipped with biology, chemistry, physics and computer laboratories, a media room, a library and an assembly hall. A chapel is also situated within the premises. The college is in high demand for sciences and prospective students need to have a lot of 1's.

The Sixth Form also hosts many events in the course of the year, and is perhaps most famed for its Cultural Soiree, which normally takes place towards the beginning of February and has a reputation for being excellent. It is always a very successful event, with ticket sales reaching approximately 1,700 for the year 2009. The Soirée generally contains many items, including dancing, acting, singing and music. It always concludes with an 45-minute-long musical directed and choreographed by the students themselves. Recent examples of these musicals were Cats in 2006, and Jesus Christ Superstar in 2007. In 2008, the musical was Hairspray, followed by Mamma Mia in 2009, Lion King in the year 2010 and Moulin Rouge in 2011. In 2012 the musical was "We Will Rock You". Every year, the stage crew also presents a small act dubbed the "crew item".
