Llwyddiant Gymnasteg / Gymnastics Success
Fri 21 Feb 2025Llongyfarchiadau i dîm gymnasteg yr ysgol ar eu llwyddiant anhygoel ym Mhencampwriaeth Gymnasteg Ysgolion Cymru heddiw yng Nghasnewydd. Er i’r safon fod yn eithriadol o uchel unwaith eto eleni, disgleiriodd ein disgyblion talentog ar y llwyfan cenedlaethol, gydag India, Carys, Poppy, Anais, Amelia ac Annest yn ennill aur yn y gystadleuaeth grŵp. Byddan nhw nawr yn mynd ymlaen i gynrychioli Cymru ym Mhencampwriaeth Ysgolion Prydain ym mis Mai. Llwyddodd yr ail grŵp, sef Amelia, Gwennan, Elvie, Savannah, Megan a Ffion gyrraedd y podiwm hefyd, gan ennill efydd yn yr un gystadleuaeth. Yn y gystadleuaeth parau, enillodd Carys ac Alis y fedal arian, gan golli allan o drwch blewyn ar aur mewn cystadleuaeth gystadleuol iawn. Mae'r ysgol yn browd iawn o'r merched i gyd a'u cyflawniadau ac mae eu llwyddiant yn dyst i'w gwaith caled a’u hymroddiad wrth baratoi ar gyfer y cystadlaethau hyn. Llongyfarchiadau unwaith eto a dymuniadau gorau ar gyfer Pencampwriaeth Prydain.
Congratulations to the school’s gymnastics team on their incredible success at today’s Welsh Schools Gymnastics Championships in Newport. Whilst the standard was exceptionally high once again this year, our incredibly talented pupils shone on the national stage, with India, Carys, Poppy, Anais, Amelia and Annest winning gold in the group competition. They will now go on to represent Wales at the British Schools Championships in May. The second group, comprising of Amelia, Gwennan, Elvie, Savannah, Megan and Ffion also made it on to the podium, winning bronze in the same competition. Not to be outdone, Carys and Alis won the silver medal in the pairs event, narrowly missing out on gold in a very competitive competition. The school is incredibly proud of all the girls and their achievements and their success is testimony to the hours of hard work and dedication they put into preparing for these events. Congratulations once again and best wishes for the British Championships. (21/2/25)

Tue 28 Jan 2025Cafodd aelodau'r Cyngor Ysgol y Pwllgor Eco a'r Pwyllgor Lles diwrnod cynhyrchiol iawn yn y Senedd ym Mae Caerdydd heddiw, wrth ddysgu am ddemocratiaeth a'u rol nhw yn lleisio'u barn a gwneud penderfyniadau. Bydd y sgiliau hyn yn ddefnyddiol iawn wrth iddyn nhw wrando ar farn eu cyfoedion er mwyn parhau i wella'r ysgol.

Diwrnod y Cadoediad / Armistice Day
Thu 07 Nov 2024I goffáu Diwrnod y Cadoediad ac aberth y dynion a'r menywod hynny a gollodd eu bywydau mewn gwrthdaro, mae disgyblion yr Ysgol Uwch wedi creu pabïau cerameg unigol sydd nawr yn cael eu harddangos wrth fynedfa'r ysgol. Wedi eu gwneud o glai, mae'r pabiau wedi cael eu gwydro gyda phaent coch, gyda gleiniau du yn y canol.
To commemorate Armistice Day and the sacrifices of the servicemen and women who have given their lives in conflict, our Upper School pupils have created individual ceramic poppies that are now on display at the entrance to the school. Made from clay, the poppies have been glazed in red with a black bead at the centre. (7/11/24)
