This medium-sized school benefits from an active and supportive community, that allows children to thrive.

The school motto: ‘

“St Heliers is a school that strives for excellence. Our aim is to guide and nurture each student to reach their potential in all areas of school life. Integral to achieving this aim is having a close partnership between home and school.”

THE CHALLENGE

The focus of the website was to capture the culture and character of the school and express it in different languages with lots of visual support.

The school made the decision to run a multi-lingual website, which we facilitated for English, Mandarin, Korean and now Japanese. We created a school video for the international market by letting pictures speak.

For mobile phones, we adapted the responsive interface to optimise it for different cultures.

It was important to have staff ‘in charge’ of daily updates and editing of the website. We provide training sessions to make sure people feel comfortable editing the content on the site.
