December 2008

Farnham College Awards ceremony for 2008 struck a new note. It was marked by the presence of Principal Clive Cooke (unable to attend last year) and former Farnham College student Rachel Morris, a gold medallist at the Beijing Paralympics and the guest of honour who presented the awards. Rachel gave a stirring speech telling the audience about her problems once she lost her legs as a teenager and how she fought to produce such a stunning performance in 2008 in China. She now has London 2012 in her sights. 

Clive Cooke thanked all the sponsors for their support and said that it was good to see many of these at the event. Even with the changes at the college, the 400 Trust awards scheme remains a popular feature and provides some welcome assistance to Farnham students.
