“I have spoken to many staff and students since, and the feedback has all been amazingly and unanimously positive” Squash was very generous with her time and we undertook to get as much publicity for her as possible in return. The South London Press attended the LBTS talk and took many photos, including pupils trying on clothing and footwear used by Squash to climb Everest. Our PR agency, Whiteoaks, is working on getting even more publicity. Her talk was indeed truly inspirational and she is extremely highly recommended as a motivational speaker. She has succeeded in inspiring both the Master and 500 pupils aged 11 to 13, a very wide age range and no mean feat… Contributed by George Kalorkoti, WCIT Liveryman
