We are both delighted and proud to share with you all that the school has been awarded the Bronze Siarter Iaith Award. This is an award for the use of Welsh language and celebration of Welsh culture and Cynefin across the school.
Llongyfarchiadau bawb!
We are thrilled to share news of a truly special event that embodied the spirit of Cynefin in its brightest, most meaningful sense – a Cultural Fashion Show hosted by KidsCare4U at the ICC, Newport! Our school has been working hard to foster a sense of belonging amongst all students, and this evening truly amplified that message.
KidsCare4U, a fantastic local charity, works tirelessly to support and empower ethnic minority communities. Their founder, Rusna Begum, has been a wonderful partner, offering invaluable feedback as we developed our school's Cynefin initiatives within our richly diverse community.
The fashion show was a vibrant celebration of Newport's cultural tapestry. It was inspiring to see so many of our students proudly represent their heritage on the runway, showcasing beautiful traditional dress, music, and language.
The atmosphere radiated warmth, community, and immense pride. It was a powerful reminder of how traditions, values, and heritage contribute to a profound sense of belonging. Witnessing this spectacular demonstration of Cynefin filled me with deep satisfaction and a profound sense of joy. Congratulations / Llongyfarchiadau to all involved.
