Jenna in School Rugby Uniform
Jenna recently took part in a Tag Rugby competition.
She complained that she didn’t play in all the games – however in the bits she did play she ended up playing more than Owen ever did in all the times he wanted to play when Pencoed Comp let him down.
Anyway, here’s a picture of her in her rugby outfit whilst also posing in first position for ballet.
So Jenna and Coel have dcided what they are giving up for Lent …
Jenna’s choice – Coco Pops. Considering this is her default breakfast of choice this is a big deal for her. Coel on the other hand hadn’t quite grasped the idea behind Lent as he has decided to give up playing with his sister!
For those who don’t live in the South Wales area and in particular for those that don’t read the Glamorgan Gazette then here is the extract from last weeks edition ….
Mr Davies highlighted the achievements of Owen Dyckhoff, who gained four B grades at A level despite a severe hearing impairment.
Even more remarkably, he suffered from glandular fever during the examinations and had to be hospitalised!
He is now looking forward to continuing his education at Aberystwyth University.
Owen’s mother, Kathryn, said: “Owen has worked very hard and he has always said he wants to show that as someone who has hearing problems, he is at no disadvantage.
“Owen gained six A*s and five A grades at GCSE, the majority of which were for languages.
“For a deaf person to excel at languages is clearly remarkable.”

And to round all of this off – he’s even been offered an excellence bursary by the university which means he’s done remarkably well all round.
