Respect Week

Last week was national anti-bullying week. To mark the week the school decided to organise it's own respect week. Below is a selection of the different activities that the children have been taking part in. Invited into school were different outside agencies including the riot squad, South Wales Police's dog handling team, the transport police and Cardiff City Football Club and their mascot Bartley. The emphasis for the week was on being a positive role models to other pupils, showing respect to people in our school, families and the wider community, understanding that rules (in and out) of school are there to protect us and should be adhered by, and developing a sense of responsibility for our actions in and outside of school. On Friday all of the pupils wore blue as a sign of their commitment to zero tolerance on bullying and they all signed a pledge on our "Anti-bullying wall". Below are pictures of activities that took place during the week: The police dogs gave the children an understanding of the work that they do in keeping us safe in the community. The children were able to help the transport police with the speed camera on the main road into Pontyclun. Bartley gave the pupils an anti bullying lesson during assembly, and Zak Williams from CCFC spoke to the children about being a good role model as a footballer. The school would like to thank all of the organisations that gave up their time to help the school highlight a very important issue. This weeks Pontyridd Observer has a full article on our activities last week.
