Lucie has shared some great news with us:

So chuffed not just to have received an Oscar nomination yesterday for Best Documentary Feature but to have got a mention in the weekly BBC Newsletter!!!!

I remember when I was younger telling people that I wanted to work in tv journalism only to be told how competitive an industry it was and I should consider other options! For anyone wondering/maybe even doubting whether they are good enough to achieve their dreams, yes you can. Work hard, aim high and never stop believing in yourself.

Huge congratulations for the nomination Lucie, everyone at St Helen's School is very proud of you!
