St Patrick’s Primary Sutherland - Mentoring Database

One of the great strengths of our community is parents who are highly aspirational for the social, emotional and academic achievements of their children.  The staff at St Patrick's Primary Sutherland would like to continue to strengthen relationships with parents and the wider school community by creating a database of expertise and interest. It is our hope that we can use the wide range of expertise and interests identified to support learning in our classrooms. 

To express interest on becoming a mentor, please complete this form. 

Mrs Hill will contact parents/guardians/volunteers to discuss the possibilities of working together to support and challenge our students through a mentoring process.
