Cranbourne Park Primary School Mentoring Program 

Over the last 8 weeks, a small group of Cranbourne Secondary College year 10 students have attended Cranbourne Park Primary School once a week to mentor a small group of grades 5 and 6 students. The main goal of the program is for students from both schools to work together towards ‘being the best me possible’.  

Over the 8 weeks, students worked together to look at how they relate to existing gender norms, as well as norms that may hold them back from participating in activities and positive relationships with others. Students are encouraged to be their true selves, rather than adopt or disregard a behaviour based on the opinions of others and/or the media. The program was facilitated by an external organisation called The Workshop.
