Humans of Telfer – Dina

“I have been exposed to life-changing opportunities and I have immersed myself in a community full of hardworking and ambitious people. Overall, I had a fantastic experience; and I’m so proud to be a member of this amazing school!”

“My four years at Telfer have been phenomenal! I’m currently completing my last term, and over the last four years, I have been offered a wide variety of opportunities to gain practical experience, which will be beneficial for my future career after graduation. I believe I could have had a better experience had the pandemic not affected extracurricular activities. But seeing how Telfer has managed to support its students during those hard times was impressive. Telfer is not just a school. It is a community that helps students and enables them to reach their potential by allowing them to get involved and grow. I have been exposed to life-changing opportunities and I have immersed myself in a community full of hardworking and ambitious people. Overall, I had a fantastic experience; and I’m so proud to be a member of this amazing school!
