A North Wales politician has welcomed Wrexham pupils to Cardiff.

During the visit, Sam Rowlands MS for North Wales and Shadow Minister for Local Government, spoke briefly about his role as a member of the Senedd and took questions from his visitors.

He said: "It was fantastic to welcome the pupils and staff, and talk to them about what we do as members of the Welsh Parliament.

"It was great to see them so enthusiastic about visiting the Senedd and they asked me a lot of challenging and insightful questions about local and national issues.

"I think it is so important children and young people learn more about politics and the Welsh Parliament, so I'd encourage other schools from Wrexham to come down and visit the Senedd."

Ysgol Rhiwabon, Wrexham

The charity Children's University is working in partnership with the Wrexham secondary school to develop a love of learning in children.

This is done by encouraging and celebrating participation in extra-curricular activities in and outside of school. The impact of these activities is proven to be positive which is why they are committed to creating a level playing field of opportunity.

Ysgol Rhiwabon is currently part of the North Wales Pilot for Children's University, where pupils earn a stamp per hour in their Passport for Learning, for each of their extra-curricular activities, accumulating to Bronze (30 stamps), Silver (65 stamps) and Gold (100 stamps) awards at their graduation ceremony.

For every child that takes part in Children's University, we want the following outcomes:

• They feel they have grown in confidence and self-belief

• They have enjoyed new experiences, in new places and want to keep exploring

• They believe they have a broader range of essential skills

• They feel empowered to make positive choices about their future

• They see that learning is fun, aspirational and lifelong

• They feel their eyes have been opened to a multiplicity of learning activities and opportunities

• They feel celebrated for their commitment to learning by their family, school and community

With the wide range of extra-curricular activities accredited by Children's University at Ysgol Rhiwabon and in the wider community, pupils are spoilt for choice in trying out new skills and experiences whilst also developing their confidence in hobbies they already love.
