ONLINE WEEKLY GAZETTE CREATING AN INTERACTIVE COLLEGE COMMUNITY OF INFORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT
3-Dimensional TVs add new depth and dimension to create larger-than-life experiences. 3D Active Glasses
sync up with the 3D TV to produce 3D images that virtually leap off the screen. Favourite shows can even
be transformed to 3D in real time for the ultimate "reality" TV.

Personality of the Week
Professor Richard England- IB Guest Speaker
Professor Richard England, world-renowned architect and Old Edwardian kindly
accepted an invitation to give a talk to our IB Sixth Form students about one of his life's
passions - architecture.
Professor England's zest for the subject was clear as he took the Sixth Formers through
different stages in his life. He spoke about his mentors and the major inspirations
behind his fascinating creations ranging from his grand Valletta city gate project down
to his "LOVE" sculpture in St Julian's Bay which, as he jocularly pointed out, is one of
his most renowned and controversial pieces.
His talk dealt with the necessity of understanding the past and the need to respect the
history of a project's surroundings. Professor England also stressed the importance of
focusing on the 'empty' spaces surrounding buildings rather than simply concentrating
on the building in isolation.
The Sixth Formers were impressed, not just by the awe-inspiring creations that the
Professor displayed and discussed, but also by the humble, down to earth approach
that was taken to deliver the talk; a talk which was interspersed with funny, and
sometimes self-effacing, anecdotes.
Personality of the Week
The College wishes to thank Professor England for his time and for his kind donation of his various publications which will undoubtedly enrich the College library.
