Swimming Past Stigma

If ever anyone wants proof of the value of hard work, persistence and perseverance, then look no further than the BMS Sixth Form Head Girl: Prisha Tapre. This inspirational student was recently selected from thousands of applicants across the country to participate in a Ted Talk.  The title of her talk was ‘Swimming Past Stigma’, which tells us about the strategies that she uses to help her reach her goals and break through barriers. The talk is now available on You Tube and worth the watch. Prisha truly is the embodiment of all the values that we hold dear at our school and we are so proud to help her celebrate this immense achievement.
