Dimotiko Sxoleio Apesias
Cyprus is one of the smallest states in the European Union, an island in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, with a surface area of 9,251 km2 . It is situated in the middle of three continents, Europe, Asia and Africa.
The estimated population was 838.900 with an ethnic composition of 84% Greek Cypriots, 13% Turkish Cypriots, 3% foreign residents, and a few Maronites, Armenians, and Latins. These figures do not include Turkish settlers and military personnel, estimated at 85,000 and 40,000 respectively, who have moved into the Turkish-occupied areas since the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974.
There are 6 cities in Cyprus: Nicosia-the capital of the island, Limassol, Larnaca, Larnaca, Paphos, Famagusta and Kyrenia. The highest mountain of Cyprus is Troodos. The four main products of Cyprus are citrus fruits, wine, halloumi and cheese. Cyprus is best known in Europe as a holiday destination.
Our village Apesia is located 13 Km north of Limassol. Limassol is the second biggest town of Cyprus with a population of 235000 habitants. It’s on the southern coast of Cyprus.
The history of Apesia begins thousands of years back, when the first residents settled here from Apesos of Asia Minor. It is a small village 13km north of the city of Limassol. It’s a quiet village with only one small market, a bank, a kiosk and a coffee shop. In the village live 450 people.
Apesia produces a small quantity of cereals, olives and almonds. There are also a few vineyards on the north sides of the mountains that surround the village.
Our school works as an all-day school where the 35 students are distributed in six grades. Lessons start at 7:45 and finish at 3:15 in the afternoon. There are four teachers, a headmaster, a deputy headmaster and two English teachers.
Our school has six classrooms. Every classroom has a computer, a projector and wireless internet. Four of them have also an interactive board. We also have a computer lab where every single student can work on its own computer.
