Il-komunitajiet Maltin ta’ barra minn Malta huma fenomenu. Dawk li jgħixu f’Malta ftit jistgħu jifhmu kif il-Maltin li jgħixu pereżempju f’Sydney jew Melbourne bliet enormi fejn hemm distanzi kbar bejn subborg u ieħor jew belt u oħra jirnexxilhom iżomm l-interess ta’ dawk li emigraw u d-dixxendenti tagħhom billi jorganizzaw kull xorta ta’ laqgħat soċjali u divertiment li dejjem ikollhom konnessjoni ma’ dak li ħallew warajhom f’Malta. L-attentati biex jinżamm dak il-kuntatt ħaj huma xi ħaġa fenomenali li ma nafx kemm verament u attwalment jiġu nnotati jew apprezzati mill-Maltin ta’ Malta.
 
F’Malta dan l-aħħar saret tifkira tat-30 anniversarju ta’ Jum il-Ħelsien. Innotajt li f’Malta reġgħu rxuxtaw il-produzzjoni tal- Musical Ġensna ta’ Paul Abela u Ray Mahoney. Produzzjoni mill-aqwa li tieħdok ma’ l-istorja ta’ Malta minn żmien il-qedem u tfakkar sewwa l-ħames festi nazzjonali tagħna l-Maltin.

Ta min ifakkar li f’Sydney l-Awstralja, tmien snin ilu fit-3 ta’ Ġunju 2001 tellgħajna wkoll din il-produzzjoni mit- talenti li għandna fostna. Kien hemm serata waħda quddiem sala mimlija fil- Wentworthville Leagues Club. Kienet l- inizjattiva ta’ l-Għaqda Kulturali Maltija ta’ NSW li għal ħafna xhur ħadmet bi sħiħ biex bir-riżorsi limitati li għandna hawn tippreżenta din il-produzzjoni. Eddie Busuttil kien kemm il-producer u d- direttur li rnexxielu joħroġ fil-beraħ ħafna talenti ġodda.

Spettaklu ieħor li jsir fis-subborg ta’ Horsley Park NSW hu l-purċissjoni tal- Ġimgħa l-Kbira. Din isir ukoll fis-subborg ta’ St Albans f’Melbourne. Għal dawn l- aħħar sentejn ix-xita qalila li għamlet fl- inħawi ta’ Horsley Park NSW żammet il- purċissjoni milli toħroġ. Kollox ikun ippreparat u biex torganizza purċissjoni b’madwar 300 persuna jieħdu parti hija attentat loġistiku kbir. Biex fl-aħħar minuti tiġi deċiża li l-purċissjoni mhix se toħroġ hija aħbar katastrofika li jsewwed qalb u jiddiżappunta ferm lil dawk l-eluf li jkunu marru bi ħġarhom fis-subborg ta’ Horsley Park biex jaraw dan l-ispettaklu.
 
Din is-sena t-temp daħqilna għax kien nofs ta’ nhar mill-aqwa li taf tagħmel Sydney fil-Ħarifa. Dawk li ġew minn kull parti ta' NSW u anke minn Wollongong, Melbourne u South Australia setgħu japprezzaw id- devozzjoni  u  fl-istess  ħin l-ispettaklu ta’

tmien statwi u l-għadd ta’ persunaġġi nisa u rġiel li jilbsu kostumi Rumani u oħrajn tal-perjodu li għalkemm hi purċissjoni sagra u devota jagħtu kulur, varjetà u sens mexxej li jħallik tapprezza dak li tkun qiegħed tara u jfakkrek b’xeni vividi l-aħħar mumenti tal-ħajja ta’ Kristu.

Waqt il-purċissjoni jkun hemm kummentarju bl-Ingliż biex ifiehem aħjar dak li jkun jidher ħiereġ mill-Knisja majestuża tal-Madonna tal-Vitorja li nbniet fis-snin 1992-93.
 
L-ideja tal-purċissjoni u d-devozzjonijiet  konnessi kienet tal-kappillan Malti, Fr Philip Gambin li f’Novembru 1986 sawwar il-ħsibijiet tiegħu lil Joe Fenech, Joe Mangion (illum mejjet) u oħrajn. Ġabu statwa tal-Duluri minn Melbourne fl-1987. Sena wara waslu żewġ statwi oħra u fis- sena 1989 ġie organizzata wkoll l-Aħħar Ċena,  l-Mejda ta’ l-Appostli. Żewġ statwi

The Maltese Language School of NSW has been running the language schools for the last eleven years. This scholastic year they have over 70 students enrolled in their three campuses at Horsley Park, Seven Hills and at Schofields in NSW.
 
Their long term policy is to entice students, while still in their respective schools to learn Maltese. To this end, they have been successful in attracting students from Terra Sancta College at Schofields to participate in the teaching of the Maltese Language as an extra subject after their schools hours.
 
The breakthrough came after music teacher, Michelle Leniham attended Maltese language classes at Horsley Park and was so impressed that decided to extend her newfound knowledge about her culture, history and heritage to other young students of Maltese descent attending the College where she teaches.
 
Working with Maria DeCarlo, the Maltese Language School of NSW co-ordinator, they turned a lunchtime activity of over 30 students into a special project for classes after school hours for High School students from year 7 to year 10.
 
The class commenced in February 2009 made up mostly of Australian born students of Maltese descent. The attendance in Term One was very good and a great interest is shown by the students to learn the language, history and culture of Malta.
 
On Easter week, a food fest including the Maltese figolli was organised. Other teachers from Terra Sancta College were there to observe the class in progress. The class teacher is Maria De Carlo, and assistant Mary Muscat.
 
The Maltese Language School is a sub-division of the Maltese Community Council of NSW. A spokesperson for the Council said that this breakthrough is aimed at the long-term survival of the Maltese Language and the strategy to execute activities that maintain target numbers for candidates for the Higher School Certificate.
