Shwmae, and welcome back to the Headteacher’s Blog. As always, our pupils have given us many reasons to celebrate their efforts and achievements. This weeks blog is a celebration of just some of the success of the spring term. I hope you all have an enjoyable and restful Easter break. Pasg Hapus Pawb
There were many highlights from January including the First Netball Fixtures of 2024, all three teams who took part took home a win – Yr 7 won 5-0, Yr 8 won 6-2 and Yr 9 won 8-0. Many pupils celebrated success at the weekly Hot Chocolate Friday celebrations. Our Expressive Artist of the month Bethan passed her ABRSM Gold Music Award on clarinet and over 80 pupils represented the school in Pembrokeshire Cross Country with many of them advancing to the next round.
Although February was the shortest month in the term it was one of the busiest for pupil celebration and success, two of our Yr 11 pupils made their debut for Scarlets West Under 16s at Parc Y Scarlets, There were multiple sports fixtures with great teamwork, dedication and success and the MHS Hockey Team represented Dyfed in the South Wales Finals and finished 2nd, The Drama Club hosted 3 very successful performances of their very own adaptation of Cinderella, the Bay pupils attended the Food Story where they learned how food is grown in Pembrokeshire and enjoyed taste tasting some locally sourced food, 34 hockey girls went on tour to Amsterdam, the U16s Hockey Team made it to the Regional Finals and MHS came 3rd out of all secondary schools in Wales in the TT Rockstars NSPCC Rocks on Number Day.
The final month of the term gave us just as many reasons to celebrate as the first two. It kicked off with our annual St David’s Day celebrations where pupils were invited to wear Welsh themed clothing to school and take part in many fun activities throughout the day, pupils from Yr 8, 10 and 11 enjoyed the annual trip to France, Year 10 boys went to the Welsh Cup 1/4 final and the U16 girls played their last football match at MHS, Our Expressive Artist of the Month Emma was awarded her ABRSM Gold Music Medal, many pupils were celebrated at our weekly Hot Chocolate Friday celebration, the U14s Hockey Team made it to the National Semi-Finals, 15 Year 8 teams showcased their experiments at the annual MHS Science Fair, we celebrated World Book Day with a fantastic day of fancy dress, over £600 was raised at our Welsh Cluster Concert, the Lego League Team were crowned Pembrokeshire Champions, Dauntless House graduated and finally we welcomed back the Year 11 pupils of the Class of 2023 to celebrate their achievements at our annual Aspire Awards Celebration.
