WILSONTON STATE SCHOOL
The way that mentoring works at Wilsonton, is that the mentor comes into the school for one hour a week to spend time with their student. We try to match mentors with students who have similar interests in life so there is a common connection.
We ask that the mentor commits to seeing the student for at least one year. A current blue card is required. Currently we have 12 mentors, and are hoping for hundreds more, both male and female.
HARLAXTON STATE SCHOOL
Harlaxton State School began a mentoring programme in mid 2006 and, at present there are 35 mentors meeting with students weekly. The school community is very grateful for all that has been achieved in this short time and we are eager for the programme to grow.
We are looking for adults who have a desire to befriend a primary aged child and to be a stable and loving influence in their life. You would need a current blue card to work with children and a willingness to be involved weekly for only 30 mins for at least one year (although we are hoping for longer where possible)
We hold information mornings throughout the school year for interested people. Our need for male mentors is quite urgent as well so could you please tell your husbands and men in your church.
Thank you for your prayers and concern.
