Assemblies for secondary aged students.
Not the same old people.

Dh and I have thought of
William Kamkwamba - The boy who harnessed the wind
and
Janelle Monae

Thought we'd ask Mumsnet, who are yours?

how about edition.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/02/25/disabled.athletes/index.html

and I know you said not the obvious but Jamie Oliver for someone who didn't do well at school but found their way later, Daniel Radcliffe, because he's mildly dyspraxic, Basil D'Oliveira because of his impact on apartheid (and too old for most students to have heard about)
