“I really enjoyed speaking to OW's about their jobs and hearing about how they progressed from Wellington. There was such a wide range of professions and career paths which made every conversation different. ”

What is your favourite memory/OW story from the telephone campaign?

Most of the OW’s I spoke to said they really missed the sport at Wellington and the camaraderie around it which is something I can relate to massively. The sport at Wellington is incredible and I think there is something very special about representing your school.

What did you enjoy most about being a caller in the campaign?

I really enjoyed speaking to OW’s about their jobs and hearing about how they progressed from Wellington. There was such a wide range of professions and career paths which made every conversation different.

Did being in the campaign reiterate/reflect why you wanted to be involved?

It definitely reflected why I wanted to be involved! Ultimately I am extremely happy that we have managed to raise money for the Prince Albert Scholarship programme as I believe it is an incredibly good cause and it’s amazing that we can give children the Wellington education that we were lucky enough to experience.
