Gower College Swansea’s Gorseinon campus was full to the brim last week when it celebrated Welsh Language Music Day – a national day established to celebrate modern Welsh language music.

Menter Iaith Abertawe visited the college to DJ a Welsh language playlist from bands such as Candelas, Sŵnami, Bryn Fôn and Llareggub Brass Band and raise awareness amongst students of the variety of Welsh music.

Gower College Swansea has celebrated Santes Dwynwen day in style this year.  The common room at Gorseinon was decorated with red heart shaped balloons, flyers with the story of Dwynwen were scattered everywhere and plenty of chocolates, sweets and heart shaped jellies were given to students to raise awareness of the day.

On the Llwyn y Bryn campus, Library Assistant Kath Oakwood created a lovely Santes Dwynwen display and Student Recreational Officer Marc Nurse distributed sweets and flyers across the Tycoch campus.

Four Gower College Swansea students, who are all studying A Levels at the Gorseinon campus, took part in the recent Urdd National Swimming Gala.

Dylan Lambropolus, Kyle Job, Oliver Jones and Lewis Quirk came first in two relay races – the medley and the freestyle. They were competing against pupils and students from all over Wales in the ‘over year 11’ age category.
