Activities and Sport
Ysgol Morgan Llwyd is proud to be part of many activities and sporting events in and around Wrexham. Year 7 pupils have the opportunity to visit Glan Llyn, an Urdd Gobaith Cymru owned Welsh Language camp. Years 10 to Year 13 (Sixth Form) can study for the Duke of Edinburgh award. All pupils have the opportunity to compete in Urdd events in the National Eisteddfod and the County Eisteddfod. Ysgol Morgan Llwyd has also made excursions to Germany, France, the Czech Republic, America and Belgium on different occasions.
Previously the drama club, Theatr y Draig, was running in the school which produced many successful performances of "Grease" and "Blind Date". This year, applicants can take part in their production of "Grease". Every year a School Eisteddfod takes place, usually on St. David's Day. This is open for Years 7 - 10 and is a tradition in the school. Pupils participate in many competitions that range from Form Choir, Garage/Kitchen band to Whistling. A pupil is selected for the chair each year also.
Ysgol Morgan Llwyd pupils compete in sport - namely football and netball - against other Wrexham schools. There is also a Tae Kwon Do club participating in the ysgol Morgan Llwyd Sports Hall.

Famous quotes containing the words activities and/or sport:
“I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“For generations, a wide range of shooting in Northern Ireland has provided all sections of the population with a pastime which ... has occupied a great deal of leisure time. Unlike many other countries, the outstanding characteristic of the sport has been that it was not confined to any one class.”
—Northern Irish Tourist Board. quoted in New Statesman (London, Aug. 29, 1969)
