Speaker: Charmaine
“I was quite daunted in regards to the financial side—in coming back to college. But it’s been… it-it couldn’t have been any better.”

Speaker: Samira
“They are just there for support and understanding students, and there is a real sense of friendship between staff and students.”

The camera shows Samira in a bright, modern classroom, speaking enthusiastically with a student. The student sits at a desk, speaking and smiling. Samira stands and leans over, adding notes and pointing at the student’s paper with a blue pen. Samira writes enthusiastically as the student watches and gestures with their own pen.

Speaker: Joanne Dye
“For any adult who is daring to take up one of our courses and has been thinking about it for a while but just not quite taken that step, I-I would say—come and talk to us.”
