Coleg Gwent News

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.

At Coleg Gwent, we’re proud to be progressive and continually challenging gender stereotypes. That’s why this International Women’s Day, we’re taking the opportunity to celebrate some of our wonderful female members of staff who work in traditionally male dominated industries.

Music, Maestro! Meet the BGLZ Rock School! The Rock School is a music programme aimed to push the music students’ song writing along with getting them out into the wider community. It works alongside their main music course, developing on their composition and live performance units.

BTEC Sports Coaching and Development learner, Lloyd Sheppard, is an endurance athlete specialising in 10km running. With a real love for sport, he decided to pursue a BTEC in the subject he loves at Crosskeys Campus.

Congratulations to three talented Coleg Gwent students who have been selected from hundreds of competitors to represent the United Kingdom in the WorldSkills UK National Squad.
