  • 🌟 Holocaust Memorial Day 2025 🌟 This year marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp, and the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia. On 27 January, we come together to reflect on the theme ‘For a Better Future’—a powerful reminder of the lessons we can learn from the Holocaust and more recent genocides. While racism and hatred don’t always lead to genocide, history shows us that it begins with harmful stages like propaganda, ‘othering,’ and dehumanisation. Join us in remembering the brave individuals who died, as we light up our civic offices purple in honour of Holocaust Memorial Day. Let’s remember the past and commit to building a future free from hatred and division. #HMD2025 #ForABetterFuture #NeverForget 🌟 Diwrnod Cofio’r Holocost 2025 🌟 Eleni mae’n 80 mlwyddiant rhyddhad Auschwitz-Birkenau, y gwersyll garchar Natsïaidd mwyaf, a 30 mlwyddiant yr hil-laddiad yn Bosnia. Ar 27 Ionawr, down ynghyd i adfyfyrio ar y thema ‘Ar Gyfer Gwell Dyfodol’ - i’n hatgoffa mewn ffordd bwerus o’r gwersi y gallwn eu dysgu gan yr Holocost a hil-laddiadau mwy diweddar. Er nad yw hiliaeth a chasineb wastad yn arwain at hil-laddiad, mae hanes yn dangos i ni ei fod yn dechrau gyda chamau dichellgar megis propaganda, creu ymdeimlad o’r ‘arall’ a diddynoli. Ymunwch â ni i gofio’r unigolion dewr fu farw, wrth i ni oleuo ein swyddfeydd dinesig yn biws er anrhydedd i Ddiwrnod Cofio’r Holocost. Dewch i ni gofio’r gorffennol ac ymrwymo i adeiladu dyfodol sy’n rhydd o gasineb a rhaniadau. #HMD2025 #ArGyferGwellDyfodol #PeidiwchBythAnghofio 🌟 Diwrnod Cofio’r Holocost 2025 🌟 Eleni mae’n 80 mlwyddiant rhyddhad Auschwitz-Birkenau, y gwersyll garchar Natsïaidd mwyaf, a 30 mlwyddiant yr hil-laddiad yn Bosnia.

  • 🏫Plans for a new-build replacement Mynydd Cynffig Primary School are continuing to progress with a full planning application now having been submitted for consideration. Under the plans, the new-build school would be built on land currently occupied by Mynydd Cynffig Primary School’s junior department and would operate on a single site basis, bringing together all year groups in the same location. The school has also been designed with sustainable features and will be Net Zero Carbon in operation. In addition to the classrooms, the two-storey school features an indoor learning plaza, a main hall, ancillary studio hall, outdoor play areas, and all-weather pitches, which may also be utilised by community groups and other organisations. 🔗https://lnkd.in/eSPaDFcU 🏫Mae cynlluniau ar gyfer adeiladu Ysgol Gynradd Mynydd Cynffig newydd yn parhau i ddatblygu, gyda chais cynllunio llawn wedi ei gyflwyno i’w ystyried.
