I have seen thousands of young people attain not only outstanding examination results and go on to study at the world’s most prestigious universities, but have witnessed them mature as individuals, ready for the challenges life will undoubtedly throw their way.
I have never seen it all, or heard it all. Each academic year students bring something new to the college and I am always learning something new from them. Our students are like a breath of a fresh air, they are hardworking, conscientious, full of energy and enthusiasm. They certainly keep me busy and on my toes. After leaving us I know they think fondly of CTC, many have come and told me so. I am proud to be associated with CTC and I know many of our students are too.”
