Speech Day at Stover School

This time it was the turn of the senior school to receive congratulations on their achievements throughout the past year. The Prizegiving and Address was given by Pen Hadow, British explorer and author. He is currently working with NASA, ESA the UK Met Office, the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research and other research and campaining organisations dedicated to global climate change issues. He gave a graphic account of the many setbacks he overcame during his trek to the Geographic South Pole and the theme of his address to the Students was how to overcome disappointments and setbacks to reach individual goals.
