Student Quotes “It opened a different pathway for my future life and has influenced others around me to get back into education. My experience demonstrated that education can be different, interesting and rewarding” “In the eyes of the powers that be I was a criminal when I came here. This place has made such a positive change to my life. It has helped me stop the feeling that I had nothing to offer. I am not really that different but it has educated me and brought me into society, without breaking me. For this I am most grateful”
