From the Head of Pastoral Mr Hilton Hardman
Student Mentors This will be the third year running our exciting Student Mentorship Program. Nominations took place at the beginning of this year, where students across Years 10 to 12 could self-nominate as Mentors. These students have completed their training program designed to develop skills of supporting others while understanding their personal boundaries.

Mentors will provide an approachable and non-threatening alternative for students who need support with any concerns or personal issues. They will have fortnightly group sessions run by the Head of Pastoral to debrief and provide ongoing guidance and support. This aspect of the program is predicated on the knowledge that students are often more likely to speak to a trusted peer than to an adult. Not only will our Mentors be a support for their peers, but they will also learn incredible life skills through being part of the program. The first project for this group will be the promotion of National Day of Action Against Bullying in week 8. It gives me great pleasure to announce this year’s Student Mentors: Alice Conroy, Brianna Goss, Jess Green, Meghan Green, Daniel Greenaway, Ali Griffin, Eliza Griffin, Jordan Higginson Sofia Pascall, Maddi Phillips, Marvel Sukadis, Ella Tiley, 5 Edition 2 2020
