The best in Wales
A Torfaen teacher has picked up a top award at the Sports Council for Wales annual coaching awards ceremony.
Osian Griffiths, from Abersychan school, was chosen as the secondary school coach of the year. He is the school’s Head of PE and won the award because of a long list of great achievements including:
-
Running a series of after-school activities including the girls’ rugby team.
-
Leading the school’s U14 team to victory in the national tag rugby competition at the Millennium stadium for the last two years.
-
Coordinating the Duke of Edinburgh award in the school.
-
Playing a critical role in the development of the sports laboratory at the school.
-
Working with the 5 x 60 officer to develop a varied lunchtime and extra-curricular activity programme.
Councillor John Turner, Executive Member for Children and Young People, said: "Osian’s list of achievements is impressive and shows why he was given the huge accolade of being the best secondary school coach in Wales. The pupils at Abersychan school are inspired by his enthusiasm to get involved in sports activities outside the curriculum."
