Road Works causing Bus Delay
We are having a problem with the Bwlchgwyn / Coedpoeth bus.
There are long term road works in Coedpoeth, lasting at least 3 months.
This has caused the bus to be very late for school.
As a result, Wrexham Council have been in touch with the Bus Company and they will now be running the bus service 15 minutes earlier.
All pupils concerned have been informed of this change.

Photography Competition Winner
Congratulations to Shauna Coleman 10 Romero for winning the second prize in the photography competition which was held this autumn by the Forestry Commission, Wales. This competition was held to celebrate the International Year of the Forest 2011. Sixty two entries in total were received from across Wales for the category called ‘Time’. The competition was judged by the Forestry Commission GB’s Photographer, the Forestry Commission, Wales’ web designer and a member of the Forestry Commission, Wales’ Woodlands for Learning Team. They said that they particularly liked the effect of light used by Shauna in her photograph. They said that “the light effect really made the mellow autumn colours on the tree stand out”. Shauna has received a £75 voucher as her prize and her photo will be framed. Shauna’s photo may even be used for publicity purposes!
If you wish to see the winning entries they will soon be available on the Forestry Commission Wales’ Woodlands for Learning website – www.forestry.gov.uk.
Llongyfarchiadau Shauna!

Fair Trade Group @ The School Fayre
Last Wednesday members of the Eco Group/Fair Trade Group helped to run a stall at the School Fayre. We sold various Fair Trade products including chocolate, knick-knacks, biscuits, sweets, tea, coffee, jams and Christmas cards. All together, we raised £127.62. We would like to thank all members of the eco group who helped on the night.

Healthy Schools Scheme Award 2011
We are pleased to announce that the school has been accredited with the Healthy School Scheme Award for the fifth year. This year our objective was to show a commitment to the school environment, ensuring that it is a healthy and safe place for pupils and staff to work. A wealth of evidence was given to the assessor which supported our commitment to this important aspect of school life.
Mr Mark Griffiths and two Year 9 pupils, Ben Trevor-Griffiths and Joe Vella attended the award ceremony on Friday 11th November at Glyndwr University. They joined pupils from other Wrexham schools to receive the award from the Mayor of Wrexham.

Eco Group Litter Pick
On Thursday we did a litter pick and completed a survey for Keep Wales Tidy Week. We started with a briefing from Miss Davies about Health and Safety. We then decided which group would tidy which area of the school grounds. Our group tided around the sports hall, the gym and outside the restaurant. On the whole the school was quite tidy however the Eco-Group managed to collect a few bags of litter from some areas. We then discussed our survey in the Eco-Group meeting. Remember respect the environment …don’t litter!
