Here at Maltalingua we want you to have a fun and pleasant stay, so our team is available for you 24hrs a day.
Should you have any queries during your stay, please talk to your Group Leaders immediately. We are here to support you and offer assistance in anything you need.
To help ensure that you are comfortable, it is important that you follow our rules and regulations.
1. Social & Leisure Programme
The weekly programme is available in your welcome pack or handed out to you on a weekly basis. Further information or changes to the programme will be communicated via your Group Leader and displayed on MALTALINGUA’s main notice-board at the school.
You are also encouraged to speak English at all times. It will help you to maximise your English language speaking and listening practice while you are here in Malta.
2. MALTALINGUA documents
You are to take care of the documents supplied in your welcome packs, such as your MALTALINGUA Student Card and bus colour tag. These documents are not transferable to other students and should be stored in a safe place.
You must carry your MALTALINGUA Student Cards at all times. This card will be requested to attend MALTALINGUA events.
On arrival, you are given a wristband. It is very important that you wear it at all times. Damaged wristbands are replaced at no charge. Lost wristbands will be replaced at a charge of € 5.00
On your first Monday, you will also be assigned a bus and a colour representing your bus. You must NOT switch busses with another student during your stay as this will cause problems for your group leaders.
3. Doctor
Should you require the services of a doctor during your stay in Malta, contact your group leader immediately. You are to pay for the doctor’s visit, transport, and medicines. Do not forget to ask the doctor for a receipt (for your records) of what you paid. This may be claimed through your medical insurance on your return home. You are also applicable for free health care via your EU health card, however, the waiting times are usually around 4 times longer.
4. School times
Classes typically start at 9.30 am from Monday to Friday, however, this may change to fit in with activities that are weather dependent and seasonal/or fluctuations. Students will be notified by their Group Leader or teacher of any changes.
The provisional timetable is as follows (may differ between high and low seasons):
Monday to Friday from 09:30 to 13:00 with a 30-minute break from 11:00 to 11:30.
5. Behaviour
It is essential that you follow the rules, and behave appropriately at all times. Failure to follow the rules or, misbehavior, will result in us issuing up to 5 strikes. Your parents will be notified if you are issued 3 or more strikes. If 5 strikes are issued, you may be expelled and sent home immediately. As per the terms and conditions, Maltalingua will not refund any expenses resulting from your repatriation.
Please remember that your safety and well-being are our first priority.
6. Alcohol, Drugs, and Smoking
MALTALINGUA Juniors are NOT allowed to smoke cigarettes, cannabis, or drink alcohol; These actions are against the Maltese law for minors and will result in immediate repercussions by the authorities and the school. All other recreational drugs are prohibited, and the Police will take steps against offenders and harsh penalties will be applied to anyone found in possession of drugs.
We hope you enjoy your experience and wish you a pleasant stay in Malta!
