Both students also praised their teachers, highlighting their role as academic mentors and guides who provide emotional support, motivation and encouragement.

"It is important that I help students understand how they learn best and identify the style that suits them to vary the lessons accordingly. A big part of my job is to ensure that students are able to link together what they are learning and demonstrate understanding instead of learning through memorizing. I group them with skill that they can use beyond school." said Kate Moskwa, head of humanities.
