Gwobr Arian Ysgol sy'n Parchu Hawliau
Rydym yn gyffrous i gyhoeddi bod ein hysgol wedi derbyn gwobr Arian Ysgol sy'n Parchu Hawliau gan UNICEF! Mae'r gydnabyddiaeth hon yn adlewyrchu ymrwymiad ein hysgol i hyrwyddo a chynnal hawliau pob plentyn. Mae cyrraedd y garreg filltir hon yn dangos ymroddiad ein cymuned ysgol i greu amgylchedd cynhwysol a pharchus lle mae hawliau pob plentyn yn cael eu gwerthfawrogi a’u hamddiffyn.
Mae derbyn y wobr Arian yn dynodi bod Ysgol Panteg wedi gwneud cynnydd sylweddol wrth wreiddio egwyddorion Confensiwn y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar Hawliau’r Plentyn (CCUHP) yn ein hethos a’i chwricwlwm. Mae’n dangos bod ein hysgol wedi cynnwys disgyblion, staff, a’r gymuned ehangach yn weithredol wrth ddysgu am hawliau a chyfrifoldebau, gan feithrin empathi, parch, a chydraddoldeb ymhlith pob unigolyn.
Nododd yr asesydd fod y cyflawniad hwn nid yn unig yn dyst i waith caled ac ymroddiad y plant a’r staff ond hefyd yn amlygu rôl ein hysgol fel esiampl o addysg hawliau yn ein cymuned. Trwy hybu ymwybyddiaeth o hawliau plant, mae ein hysgol yn grymuso pobl ifanc i ddod yn ddinasyddion gwybodus, gweithredol sy'n eiriol dros gymdeithas deg a chyfiawn.
Y llynedd, buom yn gweithio tuag at ein gwobr Efydd. Felly, rydym yn awr yn parhau i ganolbwyntio ac yn parhau ar ein taith tuag at ddod yn Ysgol sy'n Parchu Hawliau gyda’r wobr aur, rydym yn gobeithio y bydd y cyflawniad hwn yn ysbrydoli ymrwymiad parhaus i hyrwyddo ac amddiffyn hawliau pob plentyn, yn ein hysgol a thu hwnt.
