He continued his shooting rampage outside, leaving behind more dead and injured.

  • Newsletter Spring Term 2014 PDF File
    It has been an exciting spring term. It started with torrential rain as we all moved into our new facilities but finished with the first signs of summer and the new buildings and environment looking resplendent in the sunshine. Pupils and staff alike are enjoying enormously the new school facilities and I am sure this has enhanced the wonderful learning opportunities at Cardiff High School. There is still much to do however and if you would like to help, please see our fundraising article on page 19 Sixth Form News Some exciting news for the Sixth Form and future post 16 students at Cardiff High School. After the Easter break, the school will take control of Ty Celyn Youth Centre and we will be turning Ty Celyn into a dedicated Cardiff High School Sixth Form block to enhance the Sixth Form experience. We are also delighted to be able to support the Community Youth Service on the school site in the evenings ensuring the viability of this provision in the community. Exam Preparation While many of us look forward to an Easter break, it is a significant time for all our students who are about to embark upon their revision schedules. As always, we will be providing all our revision session information through the school website, Parentmail, Twitter and Facebook as we prepare for the summer exams. If you require any help with any of these, please email Sarah Young at [email protected]. We would like to bid a fond farewell to Helen Mann Achievement Leader of Year 7 and teacher of French as she is leaving us for a new adventure in Abu Dhabi.
