Interested in Computing and Code?
Come along to U42 every Monday at lunch time and be part of our Code Club.
With Mr Warren and Mr Makin
At Code Club, we think everyone should have the opportunity to learn to code, no matter who they are or where they come from.
Do you want to improve your digital competency and skills and gain a recognised award?
If you do come to iDEA Club in U42 every Tuesday Lunch time with Mr Warren
The Inspiring Digital Enterprise Award, known as iDEA is an international award winning programme that helps you develop digital, enterprise and employability skills for free.
Through our series of online challenges, you can win career-enhancing badges, unlock new opportunities and, ultimately, gain industry-recognised Awards that help you stand out from the crowd.
Being developed
Minecraft club every Wednesday in U42. Minecraft Club is a place for all students, to socialise and play online with each other in a safe Minecraft server. We will be completing crazy challenges, following step-by-step tutorials, designing skins, creating, exploring, designing, building amazing structures, investigating engineering (STEAM-related challenges) and problem-solving.
Cwmbran High school Digital Leaders
At Cwmbran High school we have a selection of students that are Digital leaders across the school.
The pupil's role as a digital leader involves taking on responsibilities to promote digital literacy, internet safety, and responsible technology use among their peers. Digital leaders are typically selected or trained to educate their fellow students on various aspects of digital technology and its impact on their lives.
Some key responsibilities of a digital leader may include:
1. Providing support and guidance to peers on using digital tools and platforms effectively and responsibly.
2. Raising awareness about online safety issues such as cyberbullying, privacy protection, and online etiquette.
3. Organising and participating in digital literacy workshops or events to help their classmates develop their skills and knowledge.
4. Collaborating with teachers and school administrators to implement digital citizenship programs and policies.
5. Serving as role models for using technology in a positive and productive way, while also being mindful of its potential risks and challenges.
Overall, a Cwmbran High school pupil's role as a digital leader is to empower their peers to navigate the digital world with confidence, awareness, and responsibility. By promoting digital literacy and online safety, they can contribute to creating a positive and supportive online community within their school and beyond.

The BEBRAS competition is an international computational thinking challenge that aims to introduce students to the world of computer science and coding. The competition is open to students from primary school to high school level and is organised by the European Council for Computing in Education.
Participants are presented with a series of engaging and interactive problems that require them to think logically, analytically, and strategically in order to solve them. These problems focus on a range of topics including logic, reasoning, algorithms, and data structures.
The competition is designed to be accessible to students of all levels of experience with computer science, and encourages collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving skills. It aims to motivate students to pursue further study in computer science and related fields by showcasing the fun and practical applications of computational thinking.
The BEBRAS competition is held annually in many countries around the world, with participants competing at regional, national, and international levels. Winners of the competition receive recognition and awards for their achievements, and are encouraged to continue their exploration of computer science and coding.
