Heddiw (13 Mai 2018\), datgelwyd pwy yw’r naw o athrawon a gweithwyr addysg proffesiynol ac ysbrydoledig sydd wedi ennill ail Wobrau Addysgu Proffesiynol Cymru.

 Cafodd 130 o westeion o bob cwr o Gymru, a 25 ohonynt wedi cyrraedd y rownd derfynol, eu gwahodd i ddathlu rhagoriaeth mewn addysg mewn seremoni arbennig a gynhaliwyd yng Nghastell Hensol. Yn datgelu enwau enillwyr y naw categori roedd y diddanwr Tudur Owen ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg, Kirsty Williams AC.

 Lorraine Dalton o Ysgol Esgob Morgan, Llanelwy oedd Athro/Athrawes y Flwyddyn, a chafodd ei henwebu am ei gwaith caled a’i hymroddiad i roi'r cyfleoedd dysgu gorau posibl i’w disgyblion. Creodd Lorraine argraff ar y beirniaid gyda’i hymroddiad diflino, ei brwdfrydedd a’r effaith aruthrol mae hi wedi’i chael ar ei hysgol.

 Dywedodd Lorraine: 

 
> “Ges i gymaint o sioc. Mae’n deimlad hyfryd. Mae’n gwneud popeth ry’ch chi’n gwneud yn werth chweil. Pan ges i fy rhoi ar y rhestr fer, dywedais taw dim ond swydd ydyw, ond wrth feddwl am y peth, mae’n fwy na jest swydd. Mae’n ffordd o fyw. Bydd pob athro’n cytuno nad ydych chi byth yn gallu stopio meddwl am y peth oherwydd rydych chi bob amser am wneud y gorau ar gyfer eich disgyblion. Mae’r plant wirioneddol wrth galon beth dwi’n gwneud a’r disgyblion yw blaenoriaeth pob aelod o’r tîm yn Ysgol Esgob Morgan. Mae hwn iddyn nhw.”

 Cafodd Janet Waldron o Ysgol Gyfun Pontarddulais ei henwi’n Bennaeth y Flwyddyn. Dywedodd y beirniaid mai’r ysgol yw ei bywyd a’i bod yn anadlu bywyd i’r ysgol, mae hi’n malio am bob unigolyn yno ac yn annog y staff i’w herio eu hunain a’r disgyblion i wireddu eu potensial.

 Dywedodd Janet: 

 
> “Nid yw’r wobr yma i fi yn unig, mae’n cydnabod gwaith gwych y disgyblion, staff a fy nhîm prifathrawiaeth arbennig. Bod yn brifathro yw’r swydd orau ac mae’n rhywbeth y gall unrhywun ei wneud gydag ymroddiad ac awydd i wneud gwahaniaeth.”

 Dywedodd yr Ysgrifennydd Addysg Kirsty Williams: 

 
> “Roedd safon y rhai sydd yn y rownd derfynol yng Ngwobrau Addysgu Proffesiynol Cymru yn eithriadol, ac maen nhw’n brawf o ymrwymiad, ymroddiad a gwaith caled athrawon a gweithwyr proffesiynol eraill yn y byd addysg ledled y wlad, felly roedd ein beirniaid yn wynebu tasg anodd wrth ddewis yr enillwyr.
> 
>  “Mae pob un o'r naw enillydd yn mynd yr ail filltir ac yn gwneud gwahaniaeth mawr yn eu hysgolion ac yn bwysicaf i unigolion. Eleni, peth gwych fu dathlu, am y tro cyntaf, y genhedlaeth nesaf o weithwyr addysgu proffesiynol sydd eisoes yn cael effaith drwy Wobr Athro/Athrawes Newydd Eithriadol, a rhoi sylw i'r rhai sy'n rhoi cymorth i ddefnyddio ein hiaith genedlaethol drwy'r wobr Defnyddio’r Gymraeg mewn ffordd sy’n ysbrydoli.
