What I love most about working at St Helena's are the students! I absolutely love going to work, and the reason I do is because of the enthusiasm and love of learning my students show me daily. The excitement they show for all our units of work, even if the unit of work isn't quite their 'thing', makes our learning environment a joy to be in.
