Such a lovely surprise to end the academic year with — I’m so glad our work with the wonderful SNES team has been recognised at such a high level! 💐
Congratulations to Sophia Long and @emastevenson.bsky.social on their success at the Student Rep Awards, winning in the category 'PG School Rep of the Year'. Both have put so much work into improvements for the PG community on top of their own studies - Well done! 🎓🌟#WeAreNCL
