St George Preca College - Paola Primary A
The History of Our School
Before the 1930s, Paola pupils attended the school of the neighbouring village of Tarxien. Ġużeppi Agius Paola Primary A had its foundation stone laid in the year 1930 and four years later, that is on September 28th 1934, it was ready to welcome the first group of young pupils. In 1958, Ġuże' D’Amato School, presently used as a Secondary Boys’ school, was opened as a boys’ Primary School. After World War II, the Maltese Government built another storey so as to accommodate the ever-growing number of school children. This storey is presently being used by School B. In the year 1996, this school was named after the pharmacist Ġużeppi Agius. In 2007, our school became part of St. George Preca College, named after the first Maltese saint.
