Mentor Program

Each College student has the benefit of a significant adult that monitors their personal and spiritual
development, as well as their academic progress and communicates where necessary with parents. In the Primary Years this role is performed by class teachers and in the Secondary Years it is performed by the Mentor Group Teacher who meets with students on a daily basis. These staff form a partnership with parents that is focused on the needs of the whole child. They nurture each student's spiritual development, implement the College’s well-being program, and coach their students in the academic, interpersonal, and self-management skills necessary for a successful school experience and a successful life. Mentors are the first port of call for student welfare matters.

Well-being Program

The Secondary wellbeing Program provides students with opportunities to explore their Christian faith as well as other vital topics.

Students will regularly meet with their staff Mentor. Mentors will assist students to remain organised and help them with the phases of College life as they occur. They will also convene Bible-based discussions during Chapel and under the guidance of the Year Advisor will implement the student well-being program that specifically addresses skills relevant to personal development, organisation, study, interpersonal skills and other relevant topics.

Academic Mentoring

The demands of the Senior Years are considerable as the expectations on students increase, in order for students to fulfil their potential in the HSC. Mentors will consult regularly with each student to help them navigate their way successfully through this period in their lives, seeking to ensure they:

• formulate and follow an effective study routine;

• work as hard as they are able;

• employ the most beneficial study techniques;

• make use of College tutoring opportunities;

• are informed about all external and internal study days available;

• formulate goals and reflect on progress to make necessary changes
