Passing the Flame: Għargħur Primary Hands Over the Torch to the National Sports School
In a celebration of unity, perseverance, and youthful spirit, the symbolic torch of the ongoing Malta School Games initiative made its journey from Għargħur Primary to the National Sports School. This ceremonial relay marks not just a handover of a flame—but the passing on of values that lie at the heart of sport: respect, friendship, and excellence.
The students at Għargħur Primary carried the torch with pride, their excitement and energy lighting the way forward, both literally and metaphorically. Their participation in the relay reflects the school’s commitment to promoting active lifestyles and the Olympic ideals among even the youngest members of our communities.
As the torch reached the National Sports School, it was received with honour and enthusiasm by students who live and breathe athletic dedication every day. The moment served as a beautiful reminder that whether one is just beginning their journey in sport or training at a competitive level, we are all united under the same flame of inspiration.
This initiative is not merely about physical activity—it is a call to embrace discipline, teamwork, and a sense of belonging. Each leg of the torch relay is a celebration of the power of sport to connect, to motivate, and to uplift.
We commend both Għargħur Primary and the National Sports School for embracing this symbolic gesture with such passion. Together, they’ve shown that the Olympic spirit is alive and well in our schools—and in the hearts of our young people.
Let the flame continue to shine brightly as it makes its way across Malta, igniting a love for sport and a sense of purpose wherever it goes.
