    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 got a lot of support at NWRC. I enjoy college life more than school because it offers greater freedom and you are treated like an adult.
