Support Staff Our support team are responsible for pastoral care, offering supportive and nurturing guidance, led by Cameron Parsons, an experienced Studio supervisor. Aside from managing itineraries, routes, and health and safety, Cameron and his team provide quality input during independent study, as well as offering cultural reference points for students to make the most of their learning. Additionally, we assure all parents that there will always be a mix of male and female staff members should a student have an issue with which they only feel comfortable approaching someone of their own gender.
