Student Achievements Congratulations to George Clist (11OSMOND) who has just been award- ed an amazing prize from IBT Travel. George went on last year’s ski trip to Austria (run by IBT); whilst he was there he made a film of himself and his friends having a great time on the slopes. After seeing George’s work on YouTube, IBT got in touch to ask if they could use his film in their official promotional material, and awarded him £300 worth of filming equipment to help George take his talent further. Well done George!
