MA student Isabella Fish has something to crow about this morning - a byline on page 3 of the Daily Mail.

Bella is currently on work experience at the newspaper after winning a scholarship through the Centre for Journalism. And she couldn't have got off to a better start.

Her story about an adopted rook with "separation issues" leads page 3 today.

We'll have a flutter on it being the first of many stories bearing her name in national newspapers.

Dear Students, as you all probably know by now I shall be leaving the Centre at the end of June. Before you all disappear after the exams I just wanted to say 'bye and wish you all the very best of luck in your future studies and careers.  I have no doubt that you will all go on to do great things.  I shall miss you all (yes, even though at times you have pushed me to the brink of frustration) but I intend to keep in touch with the Centre so will hear about all your successes.  Thank you to all year 2 students for the lovely card.
