Contents 16 18 4 FRONT COVER STUDENT PROFILE Grainne Scullion Grainne is a past pupil of St Pius X Magherafelt and decided to enrol with NRC on the Level 1 Childcare and Education course after her GCSE's. After successfully completing this course Grainne decided that she would rather study Health and Social Care and enrolled on the National Diploma in Health and Social Care course at the Magherafelt Campus. She is currently on the first year of this course and aims to gain a place on a Nursing Degree at University in the near future. Grainne enjoys the course due to the coursework aspect as she finds deadlines easy to meet instead of revising for exams. She loves playing sport and socialising with friends.
