AM JOINS GARTH OLWG STUDENTS FOR ‘LIFE SAVER’ TRAINING

I was pleased to join headteacher Mr Edards and students for a training session provided by the British Heart Foundation, Cymru today.  I was impressed by the enthusiastic way that the students at Ysgol Gyfun Garth Olwg approached their ‘life saver’ training.
