The Stagecoach Students Award for Achievement
Presented by Nigel Lindsay, Actor of Shrek, they were awarded as follows:
Gold Winner: 16 year old Olivia Rowcliffe from Knutsford, Cheshire.
Nominated by Laura Warburton, Principal of Stagecoach Wilmslow.
Since birth, Olivia has suffered with serious medical problems. She was born completely deaf and was later diagnosed with an extreme form of speech and language dispraxia. It was thought that drama, dancing and singing would prove a challenge! Olivia proved everyone wrong. Her friends at Stagecoach say they don't characterise Olivia by her disability, but by her confidence and stunning personality!
Silver Winner: 9 year old, Harry Day from Houghton Regis, Bedford
Nominated by Wendy Ashman, Principal of Stagecoach Leighton Buzzard.
Harry has an autistic spectrum disorder and has difficulty staying focussed and has to work hard to maintain concentration. When he is distracted he makes a concerted effort to do his best and as a result is totally integrated in class. Harry has a natural flair for drama and Wendy says she loves Harry's zest and enthusiasm for life. At Stagecoach he has learned valuable skills for life.
Bronze Winner: 12 year old Laura Gates from, Stagecoach Trowbridge
Nominated by Frederica Dunstan, Principal of Stagecoach Trowbridge.
When Laura arrived at Stagecoach she was quiet, insecure and nervous. Gradually she changed. She become more involved in class and worked hard. However, it is her voice that has astonished everybody. She has taken London College of Music singing exams, gaining a distinction and has performed at the O2 this year. It is hard to believe she now has such confidence and skill.
