"All 3 students that undertook their work
experience here worked well as a team.
They were willing to undertake work that was
challenging or mundane and were a pleasure
to have in the building. The BRIT school produces
young people who are confident, kind and
demonstrate a level of maturity beyond their
years. Well done BRIT!"
