With over 16s eligible to vote politicians are having to pay heed to the young people's political priorities. Tune in to ITV Wales 6:30pm on Tuesday to see extracts from the interviews.

Sixth Form Debate on Threats and Opportunities Presented by Artificial Intellitgence
The Sixth Form welcomed Dr Joshua Andrews and Natasha Roberts from Bangor University as guest speakers in our debate on whether Artificial Intelligence presents more opportunities than threats to society. In an event that was well attended by students and staff from across the school we enjoyed lively and constructive discourse around AI's inception, implementation and legislation.
Students talked passionately about the environmental, existential and ethical implications of our use of AI, ranging from water poverty near AI data stations through to the way AI is decimating the creative industries.
Dr Andrews, who works at the intersection between philosophy, religion and politics at Bangor University, drew our attention to the social inequalities AI is likely to exacerbate as it is mostly in the developed world that we are able to take advantage of AI's benefits. Likewise, Natasha Roberts, who is a lecturer in Law at Bangor, wanted to draw parallels between the impacts the industrial revolution and the AI revolution both in terms of positive and negative effects. Natasha was also keen to raise concerns about the lack of legislation surrounding AI in the UK and the risks this poses.
Many thanks to Julia in Year 13 and Mr Murray (Head of Art) who's initial discussions on this topic in a lesson led to this wonderful event.
Watch this space for more debates in the Sixth Form where we invite experts in their field to stimulate more discussion and critical thinking.
Jasper, Ella, Jess, Phoebe, Amelia, Michal and Jayden competed in the Welsh National Swimming Championships in Swansea over Easter, representing Swim Conwy Performance Club. It is a great achievement to be competing at such a high level. A special well done to Jess in Blwyddyn 7, who came away with 3 gold medals and 2 silvers, which is outstanding! Da iawn chi!
Fantastic achievement yesterday for Charlie, Blwyddyn 9 representing the National Welsh Schoolboys against Manchester United!
A brilliant win and an incredible clean sheet 🧤
