In an exhilarating display of talent, passion, and vision, a group of six remarkable pupils from our school has clinched victory at the prestigious 2024 Bilingual Conference. Their presentation, aimed at exploring and implementing strategies to achieve a million Welsh speakers by 2050, stood out among the competition, propelling them to win both the area and regional finals. Competing against approximately 25 schools, their achievement not only marks a significant milestone for our institution but also for the promotion of the Welsh language.

The journey to the conference was a testament to our pupils' dedication and hard work. Guided by the Adran Gymraeg, the team embarked on rigorous research, engaging in numerous workshops and discussion sessions to refine their ideas and presentation skills. Their ability to present complex strategies in both English and Welsh fluently impressed the judges and audience alike, showcasing the importance and beauty of bilingualism.
