Hundreds of children from 17 primary schools are currently taking part in various sports activities at the Matthew Micallef St John Stadium in Marsa.

Talking to the students during a visit, Education and Employment Minister Louis Galea said that sports is as important as any academic subject as it gives physical strength and demonstrates the capacities of teamwork building.

The minister told all students to take sport seriously and to do their utmost to continue stretching their limits. He also told them to make the best use of their free time during the forthcoming summer holidays.
