The City of Swansea Branch Royal British Legion has invited students from our BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Performing Arts to be part of the Festival of Remembrance on 8 November at the newly refurbished Brangwyn Hall.

The students presented a devised piece inspired by their research into WW1 last November. They visited the battlefields of the Somme and attended the last post service at the Menin Gate in Ypres. It was a special trip for staff and students and has been much talked about since.

Dance students at Gower College Swansea have an exciting opportunity to work with the National Dance Company Wales (NDCW) during the half term holidays.

A Day of Dance gives students a chance to work with professional contemporary dancers on developing technique and learning repertoire. The NDCW has toured nationally and internationally and has a long standing connection with both Gower College Swansea and the County Youth Dance Company (CYDC), which is hosted at the Gorseinon campus.

Two students from Gower College Swansea have been selected to be part of the Wales Millennium Centre's exciting 'Lord of the Flies' production, following auditions across Wales. Brothers Anthony and Amukelani Matsena have a real flair and passion for dance. Alongside their academic studies – they are currently taking A Levels in maths, chemistry, physics and dance - they are rehearsing intensively with professional dancers from the production as well as continuing their work with the County Youth Dance Company (CYDC).

Gower College Swansea has appointed a new Curriculum Leader for A Level Music and he is a very familiar face within the local music community.

Jonathan Rogers, a former student of the College, is currently Head of Music in Penyrheol Comprehensive and has an excellent reputation as conductor, arranger, soloist and musical director.
