The Headmistress of the Maynard school which Georgia attended commented that:
‘As a school that prides itself on its warmth and happiness we were saddened to hear that Georgia did not fully enjoy her short time at the Maynard ten years ago. The staff here have very positive things to say about Georgia and we congratulate her on her success in the jungle and wish her well in the future.’
