Kirkop (Maltese: Ħal Kirkop) is a small village in the Southern Region of Malta. It is found near the Malta International Airport and has a rich history, dating back to Punic times. The parish church is dedicated to St. Leonard. Apart from the feast of St. Leonard, a secondary feast of St. Joseph is celebrated in summer. The village football team, Kirkop United F.C., currently plays in Division 2 of the Malta Football Association competitions.
The name of the village is derived from an ancient family name that had roots within the area. The village name was known as 'Casal Prokopju' and this name is found in old registers of the militia that existed prior to the coming of the Knights of Malta. It is traditionally known that the name described the place where this family lived. After a while the official name became 'Kirkop' by the local people. Kirkop has been a village before the 11th century and a parish before the 17th century. Punic remains of catacombs are dotted all around the village, and most of them remain undiscovered, but plans state that they will be explored in the future.
The project included the construction of a new school on 3 floors for approx. 500 students. The total roofed area is 10,500m². The project includes classrooms, laboratories for various science subjects and ICT, a library, teachers’ facilities, a large hall, a museum and history room overlooking archaeological finds and 2 outdoor sports grounds. We built a ring road around the school and an electricity sub-station, which has since been handed over to Enemalta. The cost of this project was €8 million.

Who said
Broken pieces don't mend
I say
I say to think again
You may
Take advice from all your friends
But I say
That I'm living in your head
Chorus
Just let it grow
Let it grow inside of you
Let it grow
Let it flow inside of you
Let it grow let it grow let it grow
She said that it's easy for men
And I said that we all feel the rain
Then she said
Move a little closer then
Who says that broken pieces don't mend
Chorus
'Ñause in the garden of reason
You can't change what you're given
But you can go where the river flows
Let it grow grow grow grow
Let it grow grow grow grow
Yeah yeah yeah let it grow
Yeah
Let it grow
Life gives you a hand
You're playing by the rules
You'll never come through it.
Life gives you a hand
You're playing by the rules
You'll never come through it.
