It seems that there needs to be greater educational awareness, not just for the students but for the parents and for the schools, about the opportunities that exist when we think about the world that will open up to us in terms of new jobs opportunities. It was highlighted earlier by Mr. McLoughlin that we need interchangeability between courses so that people can start off something and then possibly transfer into a more niche area.

I congratulate all of the participants. They are all great ambassadors and we will be back to them again. We look forward to hearing all about the conference that is going to be in October. If there is a possibility for some committee members to attend, we would like to do that.

We are going to ask everyone, and they are very welcome to do so, to take a photograph with all of the participants, because we want to do our bit to highlight their achievements and to spread the message to media outlets that it is very important what they have, their achievements, and the fact that they are 10th in the world. That is quite incredible. That will bring them a long way in terms of future career opportunities. I thank the volunteers and mentors who were mentioned. I thank Ms Nikki Gallagher who organised today's meeting. I will see everyone outside for a quick photograph and we will resume in private session because we have a huge amount of correspondence to get through.
