Youth Speaks Winner 2016! Many congratulations to Year 6 pupil Roan Goulden who recently won the annual Bridgend Rotary Club Youth Speaks Competition at Tremains Primary School. Roan was asked to plan and present an interesting speech on a topic of his choice. He chose the thought-provoking topic of "school homework" and his engaging, humorous talk saw him beat off competition from twelve other finalists from across the borough. Well done once again Roan!
