What's happened so far:
A flying start for the 150th birthday celebration.
On Monday 18th January, the whole of the Junior School turned out to release 150 eco-friendly and biodegradable balloons to launch the year's celebrations, watched by some members of staff and the older students. Fortunately the rain and snow held off, and the excited girls sang "Happy birthday" as they watched the balloons soar into the sky. The balloons had the school logo and 150th anniversary written on them, and the occasion was reported in the South Wales Echo. In addition, 150 bulbs have been planted by the side of the lane leading to the Junior School and Cumberland Lodge.
Caitlin designs logo for 150th celebrations
A competition was set for the students from Years 5 to 13 to design a 150th birthday celebration logo to be used to help promote the many events organised by the School during the year. The winning design was by Caitlin Trow in Year 10, who said, “I decided to make my logo modern, simple and elegant, representing the celebrations and the school. I was very excited when I was told my logo had been chosen. There were so many people entering the competition. I didn't contemplate winning so it was a huge shock.”
Jess and Izzy design celebration plate 
Two girls in Year Five have created a 150th anniversary plate. They designed it themselves and made it at the Porcellini’s pottery shop in Pontyclun. Well done, girls!
Jess said, “We thought it might be a good idea to design a plate to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the school. We liked the designing part and it took us about two hours to create. It was really good fun.” Izzy commented, “We did it in the school colours, and we thought it would be nice to put some of the subjects into the design, We are not sure yet where it might be displayed but we hope to show it in assembly.
Plaque unveiled at Bryntaff
On 29th January, a large number of descendants of David Morgan, the founder of the large store in The Hayes which closed five years ago, visited school for a ceremony in which a plaque commemorating his ownership of the house was unveiled. David Morgan bought Bryntaf in the late 19th century and lived there until his death. His family continued to live there until the Second World War and two of his great-grandchildren, John and Richard, who were at the ceremony, were born in a room on the first floor. John Morgan made a most informative and amusing speech and his grandson Tom, a student in the College, pulled the cord to unveil the plaque. The ceremony was followed by refreshments and a tour of the house for interested members of the family.
