Just look what they're getting up to!

Sixth formers from Brecon High School have been protesting about the compulsory redundancies of six of their teachers, by having a demo in Bethel Square, and having a petition - and their parents have demanded a public meeting to discuss the cuts. A sign saying "6th Formers Concerned About Our School" may not set the world on fire as a slogan, but it does indicate what they think is important, and the big banner saying "No to Compulsory Redundancies" says it all.
The chairman of the school governing body has resigned over the way that teachers were told that they were going to be made redundant (according to last week's B&R they were summoned from classrooms where they were teaching to be told, and were expected to go back and finish the lesson afterwards).
It would seem that the headmistress is the most unpopular woman in Brecon at the moment.

Meanwhile, Jack Bradley from Llanigon, who used to go to Gwernyfed High School and Christ College, Brecon, is about to walk nearly 200 miles to raise money for charity. Macmillan nurses have been supporting his father, who has cancer, so he and his friend Reuben Skibneiwski-Wood are doing the walk to raise money for the Macmillan Nurses.
