Camilla
Camilla Mayhew studied English literature at Liverpool University and then went to Barcelona to take her teaching certificate. She has also taught in Portugal and Italy. While here, she hopes to improve her Spanish and learn how to tango. Hopefully she will wear steel toe-capped boots, as Urien will be her partner. |
Veronica
Veronica Maria Quintieri was born in Bs As and studied at teacher training college there. She has worked for several schools in the area but her dedication to IH means that she now travels 3 hours a day in order to teach here. She is known as a taskmaster in the classroom but one of the friendliest members of staff at Belgrano.
