The following is a statement from both Vicky & Chris:
We are year 12 students at St. Thomas More School and have been chosen to be Young Ambassadors. As Young Ambassadors we have been given a task to promote sport in the Gateshead area, leading up to the 2012 Olympic Games. We aim to increase participation and enthusiasm throughout the Gateshead Borough. We hope to help with primary school and district competitions, giving children the opportunity to take part in a wide range of sports and activities. We are based at St. Thomas More School and will be working in our free time to achieve our goal.
