"Hello my name is Peggy and I was chosen to be your school ambassador. When they said my name I was speechless I just could not believe it. I thought I would be at least second place of ambassador but I had actually got the most votes. When they were announcing second place I could not believe who would be with me and when it was Monty and Violet I was even more happy. I just want to say a special thanks to all the school pupils who voted for me. I am just so happy I can not wait for the rest of the year." Peggy K
"Hello my name is Monty and I am in utter disbelief that I won the prestigious role and I cannot wait to represent the school at meetings with our governors as I believe that we our some of the few pupils who can and will deliver improvements to this stupendous school that I hope will educate generations for years to come as these are the people who will change our country and the world. I myself am hoping to go to Tiffin and then move to Oxford or Cambridge and go into Robotics." Monty W
