St Heliers School
St Heliers School is a full primary in the heart of one of Auckland's most active coastal communities, a school with traditional roots, modern facilities, and a strong reputation for guiding every student to reach their potential.
I've been working with St Heliers since 2016. What began with a website and international marketing materials has grown with the school over time. When Sean Valvoi, the new principal arrived in 2022, he initiated a branding upgrade alongside a new website. Rather than replacing the existing logo, I developed new brand elements around it, preserving the school's visual history while giving everything a coherent, modern identity.
From there we rebuilt everything together, new website, new photography, a full prospectus, folders and brochures, and a complete suite of international collateral including materials for agent conferences.
That kind of continuity matters. The school's story doesn't have to be re-explained every time something new is needed.

Britta created a fabulous new website for us, which is vibrant, professional, easy to navigate, and simple for our team to update through Squarespace. She is also a fabulous photographer who captured marvellous images for both the website and our prospectus, beautifully reflecting the character and spirit of our school.
In addition, Britta designed a brand-new prospectus, a newsletter template, and a brochure for international students. She brought all of these elements together under our whale tail theme, contributing excellent creative ideas that helped give our materials a strong, cohesive, and distinctive identity.
Britta has been wonderful to work with throughout the process. She is creative, thoughtful, professional, and genuinely committed to understanding and representing our school well. We are very grateful for her work and would happily recommend Saxer Design to others.”
