Message from John on latest WHS win

I really don't believe that we won again! I had never properly settled down after winning the local heat, so you can imagine what I feel like now!

I was saying all day Friday that we were going to win, but I never really imagined what it would be like to actually win again! That's optimism for you, I suppose!

Well done and thanks to Mrs Edwards and Mr Royals, we wouldn't be anywhere near as good as we are if it weren't for you. We all really appreciate it!

Well done to everyone else on our team, because everyone is fantastic. We were prepared, we knew everything we neeeded to and we did fantastic! Next year I want to be a lawyer, which is mostly because I have seen how well Jonathan, Adam, Leanne and Sam have done this year! The witnesses were excellent, they weren't thrown by anything and never came out of character (even when Jenny couldn't say specifically...sorry Jenny, had to say that). Matt and Lisa were great. And the other magistrates, Jess and Adam! I won't mention myself, I'm far too modest lol.

I wasn't nervous about anything all day until the end when they were about to announce the winner. I felt wonderful after he said we had won. Sorry about this, but I wish someone took a picture of Leanne and Adam H's faces! It was great!

If we stay confident and work hard, I think we have a great chance of winning the nationals!
