How and why did you decide which subjects to study?

I’d like to work in a creative industry and Photography is something I really enjoy, so I wanted to pick subjects to work around that. Product Design and Creative Digital Media Production felt like good choices.

How did you find the move from school to college?

It wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. I’d only been in the country for 2 years but in College everyone was open to making new friends and I’ve made some wonderful friends. The teachers were also lovely which made the transition from school to College easy.

Tell us about any College Enrichment activities you’ve been involved in outside regular teaching lessons

I joined a lot of clubs, but the ones I enjoyed the most were College choir, the College Musical and badminton.

Singing and Musical Theatre are things I really enjoy and I’ve made some amazing memories and friends while being in those clubs. Badminton is something my friends and I enjoy playing and it was a fun thing to do together.

What do you think makes Reigate College good place to be a student?

Reigate college is a great place to be student because it feels welcoming and the teachers genuinely care and support you. There’s also a great mix of academic and enrichment activities that help shape your College experience.

What’s your plan for when you leave College?

I’m planning on going to Kingston University to study Photography. I want to work as photojournalist for a broadcasting station or as a medical photographer in the NHS.
