Bistro Puts School At The Heart Of Trethomas Community
Tyn-Y-Wern Primary School, Trethomas, has launched a new bistro, teaching pupils new skills whilst meeting members of the local community.
Pupils from year five and six will take turns to work in the bistro, allowing them to learn new skills such as baking, taking orders from customers, following basic food hygiene standards and working with money. The bistro will be open for business between 1.15pm and 3.15pm every Wednesday at the school and can be accessed at the rear of the school site at Llanfabon Drive.
Cllr. Derek Havard, Cabinet Member for Education and Lifelong Learning said: “I would like to congratulate the staff and pupils of Tyn-Y-Wern Primary school on the fantastic work they have done to establish this project. The bistro will allow pupils to gain a true understanding of the world of work and business. I wish them all the success for the future and hope they have fun whilst learning a range of important new skills.”
Cllr. Keith Reynolds, Leader of Caerphilly County Borough Council said: “I was pleased to attend the official opening of the Tyn-Y-Wern Bistro and witness the hard work put in by both staff and pupils to make the event a success. I am sure the bistro will become a central part of the community and I wish everybody involved with the project all the very best for the future.”
