• Some of the boys got to hold Dame Kelly's two Gold medals from the 2004 Athens Olympics for 800m and 1500m as she passed them around the students
• Students at the college felt really privileged and inspired to meet such a great athlete
• There were even more students wanting to meet Dame Kelly in the new sports hall
• With the help of Ryan Dinham and Leon Baptiste from the Team B&Q mentoring initiative, Dame Kelly put students through their paces
