Creative Pupils bring new dimension to corporate calendar
Pupils at Ysgol Hen Felin are set to have their artwork published in the 2006 calendar which is being produced by Tonypandy company HSW Print.

The school, which has a long partnership with the printing company, was approached to help reinvigorate the calendar that the company produces for its clients.

Darran Thomas, Sales and Marketing Manager at the company said, “As printers it is a tradition for us to develop a calendar for our clients each year however this year we decided to feature some different images to those which usually appear.

“We have had links with Ysgol Hen Felin, because we have produced their Christmas card for a number of years, so we approached the art teacher there to ask the children to paint a number of pictures for the calendar. The results are amazing and we are delighted to have such a fresh looking calendar to send to our clients this year.”

The calendar features 12 images which are relevant to the seasons, including a heart theme for February, fruits of the soil to depict August and a traditional Christmas Nativity scene for December.
Ysgol Hen Felin is one of four special schools in the County Borough Of Rhondda Cynon Taff. It caters for children with moderate, severe, profound and multiple learning difficulties.

Clare Evans-Lees, art teacher at Ysgol Hen Felin, said, “All 122 pupils got involved doing paintings for the calendar and they really enjoyed it. We were very pleased to get the chance to contribute and are delighted that some of the pupil’s work will published.”
