St Helena Secondary College has an enrolment ceiling (maximum number of students).

The play "I’m on TV" allowed students, with the aid of director Emma Oliver, to build on and act out a story.

In its long-running history the St Helena Performing Arts community has completed many shows.

One particular aspect of the college musical productions is a yearly Juanita Coco Award, named for Juanita Coco, an ex-student of the college who was an exemplary student and person, as well as a member of Young Talent Time.

Unfortunately, she was killed in a car accident in 1993 before that year's show could be performed, and this award was enacted in her honour to be presented to the cast member who exemplifies the qualities Juanita stood for.
