Dwardu’s Scoops The note of Gryffindor?
Inside this issue By Julian Coppini and Kieran Cassar-Mullally
Like the sword of Gryffindor, it presents itself to those in need. Students and teachers alike have no idea whether to believe that this system exists. I am talking of the Myth Of The Five Euro Note. The tale is one of a simple one, whoever is in need of it may borrow it under one condition; that it is replaced by next day’s nightfall, or else they may experience the most painful demise. To get to the bottom of this mystery we had to go to the origin of the source and seek answers from the man who started it all, Mr Caruana Smith. “The 5 euro note started when I first found the note on the floor, and I obviously wasn’t to go around asking whose it was so I kept it on my desk just in case someone needed it”. So, myth confirmed, but how does this system work? “So, the students would come over when they needed it for lunch primarily, but I would emphasise that I would need it back the next day. So far 4 students have used it and, on all occasions, I have received the money back. For me personally when I see those qualities in my students, that’s what makes me truly proud to be a teacher. When young men in our society stand by the honour of their word is the real factor at the end of the day”, explained Mr Caruana Smith So, there you have it. A mystery cracked during our colleges very own spooky season. A system that not only helps other students, but that also instils discipline, responsibility and management are makes this a truly great initiative.
