Girls from Year 11, 10, 9 and 8 were selected to represent South East Wales last weekend at their Intercounties tournament. An amazing experience and we are really proud of their achievement! @ALC_HWB_Dept

Congratulations to Annie Mae for being accepted into the Coleg Gwent netball regional under 17 squad and the nationals under 17 squad. What a wonderful achievement! @ALC_HWB_Dept

@ALC3to16 @ALC_HWB_Dept Well done Annie-Mae I am super proud of this double achievement. All your hard work & dedication is worth it, keep it up! 👍

Congratulations to Jayden (Y10) for being selected for Dragons Under 18s squad and starting for Dragons Under 17s against Scarlets which took place on the 20th August. What an incredible achievement! @ALC_HWB_Dept

@ALC_HWB_Dept @Ethan_Morris00 @MrPopeHWB @ALC3to16 Da iawn to each one of you! 👏

As this year comes to an end, we would like to show an appreciation to those who have gone above and beyond in Health & Wellbeing. These pupils have shown exceptional dedication and pride in their work, along with being incredible role models to all 3-16 pupils. Da iawn all👏🏻

A huge well done to our Yr 9 pupils who became this year’s Sports Leaders, trained by @ALSportDev to support 3-16 events! They helped deliver multiple lower school sporting festivals, including netball, cricket & athletics to Yrs 3-6. Da iawn all, incredible role models👏🏻

What an amazing few weeks it’s been for our girls in the Wales performance pathway! At the weekend learners competed in the U15s Regional Academy and the U17s Regional Academy tournaments. All fantastic netballer's who have consistently worked hard to get here. Da iawn girls!

Learners from Year 7, 8 and 9 were selected to attend a trip to London to see the National Windrush Monument following a Windrush project in their Humanities lessons. Learners were joined on the day by three Windrush Elders, Hadassah Radway, Muriel Wharton and Linette Haines MBE.

Year 9 took part in the Medical Mavericks session, learning how to take bloods, take temperature, check reflex, take blood pressure, listen to heart beat, use ECG equipment and keyhole surgery simulation.

Smiles all round at the KS3 Wellbeing Festival and the sun was on our side. Learners took part in an egg & spoon race, bean bag race & running track events. Plenty of healthy confident individuals and lots of ambitious, capable learners. @ALC_HWB_Dept

Fun in the sun from the staff as well. Lots of smiles from the brave staff participating as well as the pupils and staff that watched.

Our annual sports day has come & gone, this time for Yrs 7 & 8. It was great to see so many pupils participating, with many doing multiple events. Also, a huge thank you to all the form tutors, staff and our Yr 9 & 10 helpers for ensuring a successful sports day! Da iawn all👏🏻

That’s the final lap done! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️ A brilliant day of Athletics at Abertillery Sports Centre with 200+ pupils from 6 primary schools! From sprints to relays, the energy on the track was electric ⚡️ Huge thanks to the @ALC3to16 Leaders for their amazing support! #FutureStars

We are incredibly lucky to have not just one but three players selected this season into the Wales Netball U15s National Academy. So proud of these talented girls who manage the workload of school, social life and netball commitments so well. @ALC_HWB_Dept

Seren, Lillie, and Kaidi played at the weekend for their U13 Regional Netball team. The Regional Academy squads are part of the Wales Netball pathway and is the direct link to the National Academy squads. Keep up the hard work girls, it will be worth it! @ALC_HWB_Dept
