The October Jack Petchey Award was today presented to a Year 9 student, Kelvin Paul.
Eager Kelvin is always willing to participate in events and represent the school even out of hours.
He is an excellent ambassador and recently representedĀ St Bonaventure’s beautifully during his involvement with the BFI’s ‘Into Film’ which is an education scheme that delivers a wide range of activities to encourage watching, making and critical understanding of film for 5-19 year olds across the UK in one easy and accessible offer.
Ā Kelvin went along during half term to Westminster Abbey for the star studded red carpet premiere of the new Marvel instalment, ‘ Doctor Strange.’ He managed to scoop one-to-one interviews with the star cast including Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton, Rachel McAdams and Benedict Wong.
Headteacher Mr Halliwell added: “What a magnificent opportunity for a 13 year old. Most teens would have been star struck and extremely nervous to meet famous actors but it was testament to Kelvin that he remained professional throughout and was as cool as a cucumber. He deserves this award for representing our school so wonderfully.”
Kelvin is yet to decide how to spend his Ā£250 award money.
