MENtor Program
This year we have started a new program named MENtor for our male students in Year 9. The program is aimed to meet the needs of these students, including a variety of educational experiences in relation to masculinity and what it means to be a man. The program runs during Connect each day under the leadership of Mr Chambour, Mr Tait and Mr Cosic who have led the boys in a range of experiences both practical and theoretical. The learning and skill development has included using tools and timber in the workshop to create projects for the school and their own educational benefit. The boys have covered content which is designed to engage them into their learning and school life whilst finding meaningful pathways for their future by utilising the school staff, programs and external providers, including getting their White Card certification. The course has its own ‘MANtra’ which is an acronym which was devised to explore the themes, experiences and skills the boys developed throughout the MENtor program:
M – MAN: What is a Man?
E – Experiences (Work experience, Training, School based programs)
N – Next step? What is it? Where do I want to go? (Goal Setting and Motivation)
T – Time for action! How do I put my goals and what I’ve learnt into action?
O – Opportunities (Using what they have learnt and taking opportunities when they arise to improve as a man for the future)
R – Rage, Respect, Resilience & Relationships (Building on these skills and understanding their importance)
So far this year we have had two groups, on per semester, undertake the program with great success. Last week on Thursday November 10th Mr Dunn and Mr Evans lead a reward day where these students were invited to a team building excursion to Burns Outdoor Obstacle Course. The aim was to give the boys in the program a fun way to apply the knowledge and skills they learnt in the program to an activity. It was great to see the students bond with one another, encourage one another and step out of their comfort zone to explore their new skills, knowledge and demonstrate what they have learnt.
A huge thank you to the boys involved for their excellent behaviour on the day and in the classroom. Also, to a massive thank you to Mr Tait, Mr Chambour, Mr Cosic and Mr Evans for their continued support of the program. We are looking forward to watching the boys MENtor other male students over the rest of their time at Cecil hills High School and to next year when we create another group of MENtors.
