Cafwyd noson hyfryd yn Ffair Nadolig yr Ysgol ar ddydd Iau Rhagfyr 17eg. Yn dilyn y Ffair roedd Gwasanaeth Nadolig yn Eglwys St Cadog. Diolch i bawb gyfrannodd i'r digwyddiadau.
Ar ddydd Gwener roedd yr Ysgol yn codi arian i elusen Achub y Plant drwy wisgo eu siwmperi Nadolig.

Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda i bawb.

Disgyblion, Rhieni, Athrawon, Cyn-ddisgyblion a Chyn-athrawon, croeso i’r 4ydd Her, sef Her y Cogydd. Dros yr Wŷl, ewch ati i bobi a choginio ac yna tynnwch lun. Gallwch lanlwytho’r llun drwy’r wefan i bawb gael edmygu eich saig. Hoffem wybod hefyd am ba gynhwysion a ddefnyddiwyd a’r technegau coginio. Pob hwyl dros yr Wŷl!
 
Pupils, Parents, Teachers, Former Pupils and Former Teachers, welcome to the 4th challenge, Her y Cogydd (Chef’s Challenge). Over the festive period, why not bake or cook and then send us a photograph? You can upload the photo via the website. We would also like to hear what ingredients were included and the techniques adopted. Nadolig Llawen!

In response to comments made in the Parents’ Questionnaire, We’d like to inform you that the school website will be off line for a few days during the School Holidays as some maintenance work is completed.
The popularity of the Website has grown significantly over the past year with over 500,000 visits this calendar year. We need to take it off line to complete some behind the scenes improvements.
 
 While the website is down I’d like to take this opportunity to highlight some other communication channels which have been created over recent years that some may not be aware of:

Update 14.08:

Forgot to mention the Teacher Twitter accounts setup to communicate with students, specifically Y12 and Y13. Some examples below:

Mewn ymateb i sylwadau a wnaed yn yr Holiadur Rhieni diweddar, hoffem eich hysbysu y bydd wefan yr ysgol allan o ddefnydd am ychydig ddyddiau yn ystod Gwyliau'r Ysgol fel bod rhywfaint o waith cynnal a chadw gallu cael ei gwblhau.
Mae poblogrwydd y Wefan wedi tyfu'n sylweddol dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf gyda dros 500,000 o ymweliadau'r flwyddyn galendr hon. Mae angen i ni gwblhau ambell welliant tu ôl i'r llenni.
 
Tra bod y wefan i lawr hoffwn gymryd y cyfle hwn i dynnu sylw at rai sianeli cyfathrebu eraill sydd wedi cael eu creu dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf:

Mae pob dysgwr erbyn hyn hefyd wedi derbyn e-bost Ysgol bersonol a mynediad rhad ac am ddim i ‘Google Apps for Education’ sydd yn cynnwys nifer o raglenni defnyddiol gan gynnwys Drive, a'r Rhith amgylchedd ddysgu ‘Google Classroom’
 
Eleni gwelwyd Gwynllyw yn dod yr Ysgol gyntaf i ddefnyddio'r parth . Cymru a .Wales, a nawn sicrhau bod y wefan yn parhau i ddatblygu eleni wrth i dechnoleg ac adnoddau caniatáu.

We would like to ask you to fill in the questionnaire (link below) regarding the school’s processes by Saturday, December the 5th. The questionnaire will give you the opportunity to voice your opinion about the school and ensure that we can respond to those viewpoints and make arrangements for the school experience to improve for both parents and students.
