Muslimah?
Personally, I don't think there is especially if it's a girl school whether of Islamic background or non-religious background. If it's a mixed school then wear Hijab and try and uphold Hijab (includes clothing (obviously), they way you speak, distancing from the opposite gender), it may be hard at times especially if you need to address the opposite gender but still maintain the Hijab :)

Hey! Don't belittle yourself like that. Just because you think you ain't all that in academics does not mean you don't excel in other areas of life!!!

It's good that you love your job, you've got a good'un. So why don't you stick at it and you never know, you may receive full-time sooner or later. That's what happend to me, I volunteered, given part-time and now full-time. Plus, i received extra education thrown in for free! :alhamd:
Who's to say you'll work after you marry? Seems like you would want to, and if your future husband agrees then go ahead, but choose your jobs carefully. And also, after one marries, it is the man's job to work, provide for his family, so make sure you ask before marriage if it is alright for you to work.

A noble and just sentiment and :ia: you shall, just be patient, plus your parents may be understanding of your current situation anyways, and in time you'll be able to help your parents, stay positive :)

Then don't. If it's a gut instinct, follow through.
