Stephen Rogan, Head of Faculty for Computing, Design and Academic Studies at Southern Regional College commented:
The excellent A-Level results achieved by our students at the College reflects the effort and commitment they have made to their learning, under the guidance and support of staff.
Students faced a continuously evolving and challenging learning environment, and all have adapted in order to achieve these wonderful results. I am very proud of our students’ achievements, and it is a real testament to the hard work and effort of the staff and students that we have performed so well again this year.
