We are delighted to announce that Hamish won the award and had a truly special evening. The judge said, “Hamish is doing an amazing job for his brother. He's a very caring young man and his own life as a young person is so influenced by the family dynamic. He's an inspirational young man and his story should be an example to others and certainly brought a tear to the eye.” Since his award, Hamish has been interviewed by the BBC and local radio stations, where he has spoken eloquently about his journey. We are all incredibly proud of Hamish and this fantastic achievement is truly deserved recognition. Hamish shared this with the school in this afternoon’s assembly. What an inspirational role model.
