Congratulations 

It was my pleasure to attend our annual Presentation Evening on Monday night to celebrate the extraordinary achievements of our students.   It was wonderful to see so many smiling students and proud parents and caregivers.

Of course, there are many, many students who have 'dared to be excellent' every day, but who could not be the best in their subject or year level, and who also deserve our pride and congratulations.

Well done St Helena students.
