	A big thank you to all those involved in the activities days organised before half term. The three days were a great chance for pupils to get to know their class mates and form teachers for next year. Feedback from pupils has been very positive and all enjoyed.

	Art trip to Swansea where pupils will visit Plantasia and a Gower beach to gather photographic evidence for their art coursework. A great opportunity to further your coursework and meet some of your new fellow students. Click here for the letter regarding this trip [9].
	Exciting opportunities for students to start their GCSE Art course a year early. This should allow pupils to achieve 2 GCSE passes in different art disciplines. An excellent opportunity for current year 8 pupils to consider. Click here for the letter regarding this [10].
	Another great night, as many of you will agree I'm sure. We welcomed lots of pupils and their families to tour the school visiting each department and talking to staff. We hope you found the experience worthwhile and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
	Team building dates confirmed. May 26th-28th will now be dedicated to team building activities for pupils from both Abertillery and Nantyglo Comprehensives. Pupils will take part in different activities each day as they get to know each other. Activities include a Trip to the Black mountains for outdoor adventure activities as well as RAF team building exercises.
	Year 9 options evening is hailed as a great success. As many of you will be aware most of the current year 9 pupils and their parents/guardians came to visit the school on Thursday night to have a tour of the facilities and discuss options available to year 10 pupils in September 2010. We hope you all found the experience enjoyable and informative.
