During the last week of term (Tuesday 18th to Thursday 20th July) we are planning a range of exciting experiences across the school as part of our Summer Learning week. These activities are designed to offer students different learning experiences to those available within their usual timetable. The Monmouth Comprehensive School Friends Association is kindly supporting some of the costs of these events.
Year 7 will be visiting the oldest and newest castles in Monmouthshire and becoming expert archers and orienteers.
Year 8 will be able to test their metal with outwards bound activities, including caving, canoeing and climbing and discover the wonders of the beautiful Wye Valley.
Year 9 will walk along the Wye to the Biblins, crossing the river before lunch and compete in interform games.
Year 10 will be working in our local primary schools to deliver their well-being days to younger students and also ascending one of the highest peaks in Monmouthshire.
Year 12 will be exploring future pathways and looking forward to applying for university, college or apprenticeships.
All Key Stage Three students will also test their athletic skills and compete for their Form in our annual Sports Days. They will also have the opportunity to showcase their performance and Welsh language skills in their own Eisteddfod.
For the most part students are expected to wear their PE kit for these three days and ensure that they have suitable footwear and outer garments for the activity and weather on the day. More details of what is required for different events can be found in the letters below.
Detailed letters will go out to parents on Parentpay.
