What our health students are saying
“In primary school whenever someone would get a cut I’d rush them to the nurse to help them get a plaster. That was just me generally trying to help people and be there for them. Taking health just fits.”
“Learning about health has been amazing, and I am really positive about the future, knowing I can fly high to any degree or level now.”
“My class is made up of different nationalities and different ages but we are all like-minded individuals who inspire each other to get to where we all want to be. The people that were once strangers are now family.”
