BRYNTIRION COMPREHENSIVE NEWS

It’s been a busy time here at Bryntirion – examinations are in full flow, we have said our formal goodbyes to Year 11 and we are preparing to welcome our new Year 7 in September. We are very much looking forward to welcoming Year 6 pupils to our Mini Olympics day soon, as well as our Transition Day on July 3rd – we can’t wait to meet you all! Our recent school production was a massive hit, with 4 sell out performances of Beauty and the Beast – many congratulations to all involved and thank you to everyone who supported the department! Our annual Dragon’s Den pitches took place with Year 9, who have already raised a phenomenal £425 for Velindre – many thanks to our judging panels for your time and support. 15 teams will progress to the final, and we wish them all lots of luck! Big congratulations to the Year 10 football team, who lifted the trophy in the Cwpan Pen-Y-Bont for the second successive season! And finally, lots of luck and best wishes for the future to our Year 11 and Year 13 pupils – we cannot wait to hear all about your successes!

We must begin our Summer Term with a huge ‘Thank You’ to our army of knitting volunteers from the local WI groups and our community, who have been creating “Resilient Robots” for every class to support our pupils when they find tasks challenging, but keep on trying!

Keep on knitting…we have room for more!

Our Summer Topic, “The Blue Abyss”, was launched with Pirate and Beach Emersion Days, sea based creative writes, floating wind turbine creations, Porthcawl Regeneration Project meetings and Life Guard and RNLI talks.

Mr Owen took us on a journey across the South Atlantic, when he shared his amazing experiences in the Falkland Islands. We can’t wait to sail through more discoveries in our oceans!

The whole school celebrated King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s Coronation with a fabulous fun day! All the pupils bounced on a variety of inflatables, before welcoming our grown-ups to share some of our favourite songs and enjoy a BBQ thanks to Porthcawl Butchers and Home & Colonial Fine Foods.

We continue to support our families with our Rail of Kindness where you can pick up a jacket and our Big Bocs Bwyd where you can fill up a food bag!
