School Trip to the United States !
A group of 44 pupils and four staff from Bryn Hafren recently spent 10 days on a spectacular school trip visiting Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Whilst there they visited Farmer's Market where they met Nicholas Cage, spent an exciting day in Universal Studios, took a boat trip and toured Alcatraz, rode the famous cable cars around the streets of San Francisco, scenes of many famous films and walked across the Golden Gate Bridge .
The weather was wonderful and everyone had an amazing time.
School Trip to the Amazon !
Recently, the school took a once in a lifetime trip to help save the earth! Over February half term, a group of sixth formers aged 16 and 17 journeyed to the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador to work on reforestation projects as part of a volunteer programme.
The work was tough, especially in the intense heat and massive downpours of rain the Amazon region experiences regularly throughout the day. Their project leader was incredibly impressed with the amount of effort the seven girls and their teachers put in.
The school would like to thank all people who helped send the pupils to Ecuador in their fundraising activities.
As a member of the team remarked “this trip has changed my life, I’ll never look at anything the same again”. Bryn Hafren intends to continue its link in Ecuador by assisting a disadvantaged school in the Quito suburbs for more information on this contact Mrs A Smith.

The hugely successful event was the culmination of weeks of planning as part of their Team Enterprise venture. Each group chose their activity and decided which charity to donate any profits to – Ty Hafan, Joshua Foundation, Dogs Trust, RSPCA, Cancer Research, British Heart Foundation, Motor Neuron Society, etc.
