Year 10 Construction students took part in the RCT Give and Gain Day along with Matthew Logan and Anthony Ramsay who were project managing the event.
The students volunteered to work in communities in Gilfach Goch and Llanharan using their skills to construct planters and taking part in various painting projects.
One painting project in particular turned out to be very special when Antony Ramsay and Mason Wills jumped to the rescue sketching and painting a design on a bus stop after the artist failed to show.
Andrew Lycett, Director for RCT Homes came into school on Friday 13th July to present all the students and the school as a whole with certificates to show their appreciation.

Our Mission
Pontypridd High School construction department are travelling to Mbale/Uganda in July 2012, to use and share their skills to build a dormitory to house the school children of Bubuto. At present students walk four hours per day to get to and from school, along this journey some students are getting attacked and sexually abused. This dormitory will change their lives and protect them, as it will allow the students to stay near the school and improve their education, reduce travel and maintain their health and safety.

Sean Baldwin Head of Geography (Group Leader), Ken Phillips (Deputy Head), Steve Jones (Head of Construction), Lee Randell (Construction Teacher), two members of staff from Screw-Fix, three from RCT Homes and five dedicated construction students Antony Ramsey, Matthew Logan, Ashley Moses, Lloyd Davies and Sean Barlow. |
