There is quite a difference, though - as I am sure you are finding - between working individually and with a small horde. (Or a large horde, for that matter. I still have no idea how Aurora managed the multi-year YPL sessions.)
Your idea does have some pleasing merit, but it's the practicalities that get one, as usual. While obviously students know quite a bit, there are all the details that they are not at all privy too. As you are, I am sure, discovering with our staff meetings.
That said, if your filing could use help, Aurora employed a student to help her with a few things last year, and that's been done from time to time in the more distant past. The trick, of course, is finding someone with the appropriate skills and discretion and the available free time. But do ask tonight and we can see if we could make a few suggestions - one of the sixth years, perhaps, since they don't have exams on their minds.

Right. Next round of arriving students.
