Virtual PCs
Southgate College has placed itself at the leading edge of educational technology. The College has installed state-of-the-art ‘virtual PCs’ for all of its students. This means that Southgate students will be able to access their virtual PC not only within the College but also at home. This will include being able to access all software, files and printing facilities used in their studies at the College. We are all extremely proud and excited to be a leader in this new technology.

Costs depend on the event and the number of people who want to take part but usually start at about £5-£6 upwards.

Events for all students
You can also take part in the College’s Enrichment/Extras Programme and these activities are usually free.

Activities include sports such as: basketball; badminton; table tennis; rugby; weights; talks by outside speakers; health awareness promotion; and activities celebrating the diversity of the College’s cultures — all good opportunities to improve your English and to find out useful information.
