This year's Lower School Be the Best You Can Be programme was launched in truly inspiring style by guest speaker Talan Skeels-Piggins.
Talan, paralysed from the chest down in a road accident in 2003, told the story of how he overcame adversity to take part in the 2010 Winter Olympics as a downhill skier and become the first paraplegic in the world to compete against able-bodied racers in motorcycling.
He gave the boys plenty of messages that will stand them in good stead as they journey through Lower School and beyond, including the fact that it is important to realise that “failing is part of learning”.
