What Our Students Say

I enjoy studying at Carmel because I have the chance to balance my work with enrichment activities. Sociology is an interesting subject which sparks debate in the classroom. There’s a lot of interaction in the lessons and you are always learning new and surprising things about society.

At Carmel there are many enrichment activities you can participate in; from table tennis, to futsal, to basketball there is something for all students. What has impressed me the most is the amount of freedom students have for independent study and how you can balance this extra learning with enrichment activities.

After Camel I hope to go to Liverpool University to study either Physiotherapy or Psychology.
