Ysgol yr Hendre


Ysgol yr Hendre is a Welsh/Spanish medium school in the large town of Trelew in Chubut. It was opened on Monday, 6 March 2006, initially to teach children between three and five years of age in Welsh and Spanish. It is one of several active Welsh schools and nurseries. The school was part of a 21st-century revival in Welsh in "the Welsh colony" Y Wladfa on the Chubut River. In 2005 there were 62 Welsh classes in Chubut, and Welsh was on the curriculum of two primary schools and two colleges in the Gaiman catchment area. The Chubut education authorities authorised the establishment of the school and supports its aims.
