00:11From the ears to the cake, and of course the green and gold, the pride is clear to see.
00:19It's all for their most famous alumni, Jess and Nyomi Fox.
00:24It's super exciting, they're such an inspiration to so many people here.

00:47It's such a joy to see young women who have just done it through sheer grit, determination,
00:53hard work and being lovely to everyone around them to have such success.
00:57We are so proud of them.
00:59Despite their success, they still remember where they came from.

01:11It's amazing that someone who performs at such an elite level is so humble and willing
01:16to give back.
