Aisling McGrane

QMC were very supportive when I needed to take time out for competitions. They were always behind me and really interested in how I was getting on. I appreciate the people I had around me at College. The support from my teachers helped me focus on my personal goals every day. I have now been offered a scholarship in America for Tennis, so am going on to study Sports in the States. – Bishop Challoner School
