Channel swimmer inspires Berkhamsted schoolchildren
Leah Chowdhry visited Egerton Rothesay School Speech Day at the end of term.
Egerton Rothesay Schoolchildren welcomed Channel Swimmer Leah Chowdhry to their school Prize-giving on Friday.
Leah swam the English Channel for charity becoming the first Asian woman to do so and in her address spoke about her 'can do' attitude in life.
Pupils listened open-mouthed as she described swimming for over fourteen hours fighting the cold and swarms of jellyfish, some of which attached themselves to her face!
The Egerton Rothesay Prizegiving event awards pupils for successes in all areas of school life; educational, social and in value to the community.
Parents always enjoy listening to the speaker, the Head's reflection of the year and pupil achievements in and out of school, as well as hearing from older pupils on their feelings about school-life.
An incredible Superhero themed super-buffet closed off the event.
