Jack Petchey Award Celebration
On Tuesday 18th October the Jack Petchey Award Celebration took place at the Genesis in Mile End. Winners of the award from all schools in Tower Hamlets took part in the prestigious ceremony. The evening included performances, speeches and the presentation of awards. Each winner was presented with the Jack Petchey Award Medallion on stage in front of hundreds of people. Amongst the winners from Bow School of Maths and Computing were Omar Deera, Jay Peasy, Minhaj Chowdhury and Hubibul Islam. We should all be proud of the achievement of these students and hope that the future is brighter for them and all of our students.
“I enjoyed the night, there were some fantastic performances that kept me entertained especially the Street Dance.” Omar Deera
“It was good to see the winners from other schools. When you win the award you think it is just another award but going to the ceremony has made me realise how much of a big deal this really is” Hubibul Islam
“I was shy about getting onto stage to receive the award as there are hundreds of people watching. I felt relaxed after seeing other young people going onto stage and receiving their awards. It made it even easier as everyone cheers for you, even if they are not from your school” Jay Peasy
“I am happy to have won this award, my family are very proud of me. Thanks to the teachers and students at Bow for nominating me, I never thought I would win this award.” Minhaj Chowdhury
