On the invitation of Principal Ken Webb, South Down MLA Jim Wells was given a tour of the South Eastern Regional College Downpatrick Campus.
He commented; “The facilities which SERC provides are fantastic. The College provides invaluable opportunities for students who want to study academic as well as vocational courses, such as plumbing, hairdressing and engineering. There is also a restaurant on site which offers very affordable meals cooked by the students. It was a privilege to be shown around the college and talk to the students.”
