John Spence student opens regional conference
Joseph Harvey a Platinum Young Ambassador from John Spence opened the North East Regional Young Ambassador Conference at Northumbria University in front of 140 delegates on Tuesday 26th November.
Director of Specialism, Bobby Graham said “I was so proud of Joe when he spoke; the content of his speech and the confidence with which he delivered it stunned everyone present. He is a fantastic role model for young people in John Spence and students from other schools across the borough”
Two former pupils Danielle Walt and Hannah Baxter now both at Tyne Met College followed Joe, interviewing former Olympic Gymnast and now BBC Commentator Craig Heap. Their interview with Craig was both inspiring and informative.
