Cameron, who is currently studying at St John's, aged nine, expressed that this weekend will be his second experience witnessing Eurovision live.

During that time, Alexander received his education from Joanne Peaper, who was the headteacher.
According to Ms Peaper, Olly was consistently one of the top performers at St John's, and she had the pleasure of teaching him in an intimate English class.
He began crafting the lyrics to his earliest musical pieces during his stay here.
According to Ms Peaper, it was incredible that Alexander was selected as the representative of the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest.
She stated that he is a great example for all the youngsters at St John's. They are amazed that someone who studied here has accomplished so much.
After conversing with fellow co-workers who previously instructed Olly, it appears they had a hunch that his future would entail accomplishments similar to what he has achieved now.
