Huge congratulations to our senior debating team of sixth formers for winning the district Rotary ‘Youth Speaks’ competition at Birchgrove school, prior to scooping the runners-up prize at Islwyn High School on the 8th February in the regional competition. It was a pleasure to see the team in action, with articulate and passionate presentations from Caitlyn, Steffan and Nansi, who were discussing the merits over whether or not Shakespeare should remain compulsory within the curriculum. Indeed, the students’ success caps a very successful contribution to the fields of public speaking and debating during their time at Bryn Tawe and we wish them well with their future endeavours. The team were coached by Mr Chris Shaw, Head of English.
