ARTICLE 19: The right to be safe.
I am so proud of our school community in the way that it continues to deal with the ever changing issues we encounter on a daily basis. From local to national lock-downs we continue to adapt to ensure our pupils and staff remain as safe and well as possible and all can continue with enhancing their education. Da iawn pawb.
REMEMBRANCE
It is a long standing tradi-tion at Gowerton to hold a week of Remembrance assemblies for each Year-group culminating in the Annual Service of Remembrance for the Senior pupils (years 11, 12 and 13) and our invited guests from the wider community. This year due to the pandemic we had to adapt our service and therefore we made a ‘virtual assembly’. This can be seen on our school website. On a positive, in doing a virtual assembly it has allowed more of our school community to be able to access it. We believe it is important to understand our history and the sacrifice our Gowertonians have made for us. We also hope that we can ensure peace in our future. Millie in Year 9 performed The Last Post perfectly for our virtual assembly and also for Gowerton Church on Wednesday 11th. An excellent achievement for some-one so young. Year 7 were challenged to paint a poppy on a pebble from their garden. Here is an example. These have been placed by our memorial bench.
