    I wanted better job opportunities and the Access course gave me the pathway towards the career I’ve always dreamed of. It was quite daunting returning to college but I found all the staff at Strabane campus really helpful and friendly. They made the experience so enjoyable.

    I played the part of Jesus in the college’s 2024 production of Superstar Live. The audition was intense, but I had a feeling I got the part as I had the right physical look. It was such a brilliant experience performing in front of a live audience!
