Great place to work and teach at. A real caring environment

I was a student here a few years ago. I am now 18 and finishing my last year of high school. I think back to my days at portobello and hell, I had a blast! Met my best friend here and a nice small school. Friendly and great teachers (especially you Mr Hobbs) and I really miss it here. Started half way through year 5 and finished at the end of year 8. Totally recommended!!!!!

Great school
