Coleg Gwent News

At Coleg Gwent, there is a sense of belonging for deaf individuals and each day we work hard to try to create a more diverse and inclusive learning environment for everyone.

This month we celebrate Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting and prayer. In support of our Muslim staff and learners practicing the Ramadan fast, Coleg Gwent staff have visited Newport Central Jamia Mosque to receive a guided tour of the mosque and share an iftar meal.

Here at Coleg Gwent, we know that our college is made up of lots of different people, and work hard to create safe environments which suit the needs of our Autistic learners and staff.

Learners from Sport and Public Services at Blaenau Gwent Learning Zone have recently embarked on a Global Citizenship Programme to Nepal. They’ll be working with the FutureSense Foundation and its local teams to support rural, disadvantaged communities.

Coleg Gwent students have competed against hundreds across the country as part of Skills Competition Wales. This year, 113 students demonstrated their ability, competence and knowledge, bringing home a combined total of 17 medals in gold, silver and bronze categories.

Inspiring our students to constantly develop their skills and improve their confidence is very important to us as a college. Which is why we recently ran a brickwork skills competition at our Newport campus, to allow level 1 and 2 students to put their skills to the test.
