This is #MyHNC “There are so many exciting enrichment opportunities on offer which cater to everybody’s interests.

I have participated in creative writing competitions and different sports clubs and these have given me a well-rounded College experience.

My favourite memory of college was when I won the short story competition and had my work published in the College magazine.”
