Raise Mentoring – Year 7 and 8 

We have had the privilege of working with the Raise Foundation for several years now and are so happy to be continuing our partnership with them in 2022. The Raise Mentoring Program provides one-to-one mentoring support for students in Year 7 and 8. The program runs for 20 weeks, with students attending one period of mentoring each week. Raise Mentoring supports youth wellbeing and engagement – it is suitable for students who are at risk of disengagement from school, have experienced poor health, are looking to expand their friendship networks, set goals, build confidence, and have a lot of fun along the way. 

Please complete an expression of interest for Raise Mentoring here by Monday 21 March (please note Raise Mentoring will run over Term 2 and Term 3)
