Alumni | Annabel's Story

Annabel achieved outstanding results at HSDC, gaining Biology (A*), Environmental Science (A), and Geography (A). Her time at college wasn’t just about academic success—it was also about unforgettable experiences.

Annabel said:
“The opportunity to travel to Iceland with Geography and see the Northern Lights, was an amazing experience.”

This trip gave Annabel the chance to see her studies come to life and explore the world beyond the classroom.

My experience at the college was enjoyable and productive, with thoroughly helpful people surrounding you, an excellent experience. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was, with the work shop time and experience I had, it was a great two years preparing me for the next stage.
