St Helena Secondary College

I have decided to send my son to this amazing school. I am so impressed by the school culture and it’s aim to assist every student to be they best they can be no matter what their abilities. I’m looking forward to seeing my son prosper and grow at this bright and shining secondary school.

Fantastic school with a wide range of subjects on offer whether your child is sports orientated or creative like art or textiles or more hands-on like being motor mechanic or woodwork or more academic. Passionate teachers who are dedicated and approachable. The leadership team are also very approachable and happy to have them contact you. Responds to any queries very promptly and follows up issues. The office staff are also very helpful. My child has special needs and they organised an Aide for her & Special Provisions for sitting exams and the GAT - and are very supportive with whatever she needs. We meet with the Inclusion Team (who support students with Special Needs) every term and go over any issues that have arisen and to make sure that my child is happy with the supports in place or if we need to change something. My child has been very happy at this school and is now in Year 12. The school has had significant building upgrades (which are still continuing at the moment) and recently opened a new gym so the facilities are really good. I really loved how supportive the school was for my child during our COVID Lockdowns. The teachers were happy to be contacted anytime - even well into the evening - and one of my child's teachers even sent Care Packages to her students which made my child's day. The school also organised Challenges during Lockdown like walking each day, cooking a meal etc. with prizes for the students. Those things really helped keep my child motivated during such a difficult time. Have no hesitation in recommending this school.

Amazing school! Extremely supportive and caring staff, fabulous communication and amazing opportunities on offer... circumstance has me with 4 kids at 4 different schools and St Helena definitely goes above and beyond.

Absolutely brilliant school. Could not be happier since changing schools. Teachers and extended staff are friendly and approachable. Academics of this school surpasses what we have experienced in the past. Firm but extremely fair teaching approach. We, as a family should have made this change a long time ago! To all the staff and the principal of St. Helena....thank you for making the school environment such a safe, happy and positive place.

I do not like it here. They care more about my shoes then my mental health.

I got dress coded for wearing a ring that wasn’t flat toppedCares too much about socks, why are you looking at my feet anyway??

I have nothing but praise for St Helena.My Children both attended SHSC with the last leaving some 9 years ago.I was council president during my time there and after a few years not being involved with the school, I wanted to give back to the community.What better way than going back on council as a community member. What I have experienced the last 3 years only confirms that SHSC is a great school to send your kids.The school motto “Dare to be Excellent” says it all.Excellence at its best.

Such a supportive environment for the students, great communication, and very dedicated staff! Their technology is so modern 1:1 very good social media presence. It is clear that St Helena really cares about their students and their learning! Thank you for your dedication to our young people!!

I have had the pleasure of coordinating Debutante events at St Helena Secondary College for the last 17 years. Each group of students has been wonderful to direct, and a pleasure to spend time with. This is a credit to their families, their school, their school community and their supportive school principals. During this awful time teachers and the principal haveWorked hard to assist students with distant learning and even have checked in on me. Thank you to St Helena, I await the next debutante ball in October can’t wait to work together with the students, families, the community who will support the students and the whole teaching staff and of course the Principal. Welcome back students.
