Yn Ysgol Gyfun Gymunedol Rhisga, ein nod yw meithrin cymuned ddysgu fywiog lle mae pob disgybl yn cael ei rymuso i groesawu heriau gyda gwydnwch a phenderfyniad. Rydym yn ymroddedig i feithrin amgylchedd cefnogol sy'n ysbrydoli chwilfrydedd, creadigrwydd a dysgu gydol oes. Ein cenhadaeth yw meithrin unigolion sy’n dyheu am gyflawni eu llawn botensial, gan eu harfogi â’r sgiliau a’r hyder angenrheidiol i ffynnu mewn byd sy’n newid yn barhaus. Gyda’n gilydd, byddwn yn dathlu llwyddiannau, yn dysgu o rhwystrau, a meithrin diwylliant o gyflawniad i bawb.

One of our missions is to address food poverty and insecurity throughout our community.
We run The Snug Community Coffee Shop in Risca and throughout the school holidays we will be offering one free kids meal with every full paying adult meal.
The project had been funded and endorsed by Aneurin Bevan Health Board, who has ensured that our menu is nutritious and healthy.
