Webinar with GB Olympian Shona McCallin MBE
On Wednesday 24th February we were delighted to welcome Great Britain hockey player Shona McCallin MBE to our online College Community.
Shona took time out of her Olympic training schedule to give a presentation and answer questions from pupils. She kindly presented twice, once for Lower College and later for Upper College and Sixth Form. Both presentations had slightly different themes, and gave a taste of what it is like to be an elite sportswoman, from the decisions she made when she was a young girl to coping with setbacks in her pursuit of an Olympic gold medal.
We are very grateful to Rebecca in SFC2, who brilliantly introduced and then interviewed Shona; the Mintridge Foundation; Limitless; and, of course, Shona for giving up her time during a GB Hockey Training Camp to talk to our community. Below are the links to the recorded Zoom webinars and a link to a blog created by the Mintridge Foundation.
