Achievements
Friendsreunited have their 'famous pupil' section, but obviously not all achievements lead to fame do they? This new addition to the Wellington-Web is where ex-pupils and ex-staff achievements can be displayed. I will post any achievements you would like your old school mates to know about, or if you know of something someone else has achieved that let me know about that. The achievements don't have to be ground breaking or World beating, but just something above and beyond the normal. Have you represented your country at something? have you become a doctor, an MP or a spy? do you run marathons? have you invented anything? are you a professional belly dancer? Have you met some-one famous?
You get the gist? So don't be shy and tell the Wellington-Web what you've done. It's not showing off, I for one love to tell people what my old school mates have gone on to do. If you have one, send a photo of your achievement. For now, I've extracted some achievements from the guestbook and various e-mails to get this section going.
