Passing on the baton
Thanks to Emma, Corey, Clara and Molly who took some time out from the celebrations to talk to our new first years. They shared some of their experiences & offered some advice and talked about their plans for the future. We couldn’t ask for better role-models to inspire our new students to achieve their full potential
