2000s -

The 2000s were fascinating and marked our school's continued success for half a century. More and more graduates and exam success are proof of the good quality work that is carried out. There are hundreds of shows and celebrations, including the new addition of Halloween with yummy snacks and Mr Nikolaides's scary stories. The end of every school year is marked by the football cup final with teachers and students, male and female, going against each other, cheered by our amazing squad of cheerleaders. Towards the end of the decade a joint english-speaking choir is formed with the Eleni Rapti Music School, which gives students the chance to express their musical talents. The seamless flow of operation is guaranteed by the brilliant Ms Vicky Varibopi, with her incomparable people skills and memory for faces and numbers. Ms Nadia Saunders taught with lots of joy and her bright, beautiful smile was nothing short of contagious. At the same time, Mr Lee Robinson was a student favourite, known for his fun side and entertaining classes. 

In the early 2000s, after graduating with a BA and an MA from the University of Sussex, UK, and after going through teacher training, Booki's youngest daughter Jeannie Efstathiou joins the teaching staff, learning and improving year by year beside her mother and the more experienced members of staff. The academic year 2005-2006 is also marked by a priceless three-month in-house teacher training seminar led by the renowned trainer Ms Danae Kozanoglou, who shares her immense knowledge with the teachers of all languages and observes their teaching giving feedback and offering tips.

A great addition to the team at this time is the brilliant Greek-Australian Ms Helen Louskos, who brings her unique energy to the classroom and is much loved by her young learners. After years of teaching at our school she went on to become Head of the English Department οf the School DES. Finally, in 2007 Ms Judy Voyce joins our team and quickly becomes a student favourite. After years of teaching younger and older learners, in 2020 she became our school's Director of Studies. 

By the late 2000s our school had replaced all TVs and VCRs with the latest technology smartboards and projectors who allowed teachers to use online material, revolutionizing their lessons.
