Over the last couple of weeks in crew students have been presenting their ideas of who our crew should be named after. There were some brilliant suggestions and presentations. After two rounds of votes last week I am pleased we can now announce the winner.
Our crew name is now Crew Piper
We have chosen Katie Piper as our crew name because Katie was a beautiful young model who became the victim of an horrific acid attack at the hands of an old boyfriend which left her with a severe facial disfigurement and left her blind in one eye. She underwent 250 operations and skin graphs in order for her face to be rebuilt. Throughout this time Katie showed tremendous courage and determination to re-build her life and her confidence. Katie now regularly appears on TV as a presenter and has set up The Katie Piper Foundation to help and support others going through a similar experience.
Thank you to Harry for putting Katie’s name forward.
