George Abbot School – Year 12 presentations
Hi Sue,
I wanted to say a really big thank you from me and the Year 12 students at George Abbot who you were good enough
to talk to last Wednesday. The feedback from the students I have spoken to so far has been very positive indeed and
your talk certainly contributed to them being much more informed about the choices open to them and how to make
the most of their opportunities.
Thanks again,
Best wishes,
John Williamson
