An Interview with Christine O
Interview with Christine O – ex-students at South Norwood, and now studying at Cambridge.
In March our Head Boy Michael, and our Head Girl Gazelle, interviewed Christine.
Christine was with us from Year 7 until Year 13, and last year got a place in Cambridge University, consistently ranked one of the top 3 universities in the world.
