    We represented Ireland at the 2024 Summer Paralympic Games, and one of our proudest moments was when we received a guard of honour from NWRC staff and students when we returned to the College to host a Q&A masterclass on Sport Psychology.

    I was so much happier completing a course in something I really enjoyed, rather than studying three A-Levels in subjects that weren't going to benefit me in the future.
