PRIMARY school pupils have been learning about the dangers of drugs and peer pressure through drama, thanks to Valero and Pembroke Rotary Club.

Year six children from in and around Pembroke and Pembroke Dock will attend the drama workshop before going to secondary school.

Run by Theatr Fforwm Cymru and led by Gill Dowsett, the workshops help students explore some of the risks they might encounter when they get older through theatre and group activities.

Pembroke Rotary Club member Ken Chung said: “The Rotary Club of Pembroke has a strong commitment to the children and young people of the area, and these workshops are a fun way of passing on a very important message to the pupils.

“We always get such a great reaction from the schools, and our thanks go to Valero and Theatr Fforwm Cymru for their participation once again.”

Valero public affairs manager Stephen Thornton said: “Going to secondary school is a very exciting time, where children can make new friends and learn new subjects.

“What these workshops do is provide a little bit of support for more than 300 students from the Pembroke and Pembroke Dock areas, who will be going to secondary school in September, when faced with some of the new challenges they would not have come across at primary school.

“Supporting this programme is very important to Valero and we are proud that Pembroke Refinery has supported these workshops for 15 years.”
