Year 8 Options Evening

Dear Learner / Parent / Carer,

Thanks to all learners and parents who came to the ‘options’ evening last night and to the learners who have already completed their 'straw poll' form.

Any year 8 learners who haven't completed the form will need to complete their online initial 'straw poll' options form by Monday 3rd April 2023.

A ClassCharts message has been sent to all parents and learners with a link to the form.

Diolch

Tough Brothers Raffle

At Aberdare Community School two of our pupils, Garyn Tough and Cian Tough are soon to be receiving some very serious medical treatment.

The boys have a very rare blood condition called Wiscott Aldrich syndrome that can cause serious health issues as they get older, lung problems, excessive bleeding and the most serious blood cancers.

Cian will be the first of the twins to receive any treatment starting in May at a specialist hospital In Newcastle with Garyn following in September. The treatment will be an op for a Hickman line which will remain in place for some months followed by chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. 

The procedure means that Cian and Garyn will have to be in isolation in the Newcastle hospital for 3-6 months and remain in isolation at home for possibly a year depending on their recovery.

We will be running and Easter raffle in the hope to help the family with the financial burden that such a huge process will bring.

If you would like to donate it would be greatly appreciated.
