The International Changemakers is the pinnacle of student leadership at The Derby High School, and presents students with the opportunity to make a real difference in both their own community and internationally. &nbsp;Now in it&#39;s 3rd year you can see the impact from 2025 here: <a fr-original-style="" href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvy8D2kMixU" rel="noopener noreferrer noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: initial;
