As we begin what is the most important term of the year for many students, with crucial exams and assessments approaching, we will continue to follow both the guidance from Welsh Government (as of Friday 15 April) and our local Incident Management Team.

This morning College managers met to discuss the return to College plans for next week.
A number of options were considered in anticipation of the new Welsh Government guidelines, which are expected later today and tomorrow.

Teaching and learning
There will be no teaching taking place on either Tuesday 4 or Wednesday 5 January.
Gower College Swansea has been working closely with Swansea Bay University Health Board (SBUHB) as well as employing other initiatives in support of the fight against Covid-19.
Over the past month, staff at Gower College Swansea have been delivering All Wales Manual Handling Passport Training to returning frontline hospital staff, medical students, care workers and health care assistants. To ensure everyone’s safety, training sessions are being delivered to small cohorts of students, ensuring social distancing guidelines are adhered to at all times.
Gower College Swansea has helped to boost food bank stocks by donating unused supplies from their canteens.
With the campuses currently closed due to Coronavirus, College staff have gifted supplies including crisps, confectionary and drinks to two food banks in Swansea, St Stephen’s Church and the Life Point Church in the Uplands.
“We are delighted to be able to help and support our local community as best we can during this time,” said Estates Manger Christian Harry.
