INTERVIEW<br />
with student<br />
Rebecca Tunney<br />
<strong>The</strong> Olympic star Rebecca<br />
Tunney now attends our<br />
school. We Interviewed<br />
Rebecca <strong>to</strong> see how she is<br />
settling in here, and get some<br />
tips for anyone who wants <strong>to</strong><br />
be as successful as she has<br />
been at London 2012.<br />
Rebecca <strong>to</strong>ld us she has recently moved <strong>to</strong> Liverpool and is really enjoying being close <strong>to</strong> her local<br />
training ground on Park Road. She is enjoying the school and making new friends. We asked her what<br />
London 2012 was really like for an athlete? ‘I was really nervous, but we all had a lot of preparation<br />
before the games.’ Rebecca said, smiling at the memories of competing at one of the finest sporting<br />
competitions in the world. She also gave us a piece of advice that is not just relevant <strong>to</strong> sport but for<br />
all girls striving for success, ‘keep working hard and keep trying’.<br />

best!<br />
