BOYS MENTORING PROGRAM //​

Our structured program has been developed with the assistance of teachers, and most importantly, past students that have experienced what current students are about to embark on in their lives. The program addresses personal development, wellbeing, health and social issues young men will experience. As students progress through the program, they will build a set of tools that will empower them with greater decision making.

PROGRAM //

  • A program mentor works with up to 16 students in a classroom setting.
  • 2 consecutive school periods per week                          
    ​(usually 1.5 - 2 hours per week).
  • We offer 9 week programs.
  • Structure and modules to be finalised in conjunction with your school’s requirements.
  • Students will receive a program folder in the first session and will receive course material each week to add to this folder.
  • We offer Stage 4 (Year 7 & 8) and Stage 5 (Year 9 & 10) programs.

OBJECTIVES //

  • Challenge young men to become better individuals in all facets of life.
  • Create and continue a ‘conversation’ with young male students about the issues concerning young men.
  • Focus on topics relevant to young men.
  • Promote individual responsibility for personal decisions.
  • Enhance decision making capabilities by studying factual information and workshopping realistic scenarios. 
  • Improve sense of self, personal confidence and individual resilience.

FEEDBACK //

Ross Warren // Principal
Pennant Hills High School​


​‘The boys were able to form their own perspective, develop the skills of critical thinking, share experience and re-evaluate their perspectives as the program progressed. The program was highly successful and we watched a group of young men grow in stature and self-confidence as they systematically became more confident and articulate young men. I would highly recommend this program’
Chelsea Votano​ // Year Advisor 
Glenwood High School

​
‘I could not recommend this program any more than it would be a disservice to deny any one the opportunity to do so. It has been a mind-blowing and phenomenal course to witness in action. From the moment the program started, we witnessed the radical development of self-efficacy in each of our students. Our students now have more confidence, more leadership skills, more self-awareness, and more knowledge.'
Jillian Tourlas // Principal
Galston High School 


‘We have found the program to be enormously beneficial in providing our boys with the skills and abilities needed to develop into positive, thoughtful and independent young men. Boys are able to clearly articulate what it means to be a man and how to manage the pressures of the media stereotype of how men should look and act. The boys who undertake this program develop a great awareness of self, are more confident, and develop knowledge and understanding about social issues that impact on boys and young men. I highly recommend this program’
VICKI BREWER // Principal
​Castle Hill High School

​
​‘Their feedback indicates significant change in their attitudes; they are more reflective, more in -tune with their emotions, more sensitive to their own and other’s needs, more mature and more resilient. The evidence of change in these young people's lives is overwhelming. This program truly makes a difference. It has my highest recommendation’
JAYNE CAMPBELL // Principal 
Marian Catholic College

‘The program has provided our boys with a unique forum in which, for the first time, they have felt comfortable to explore their own perceptions of manhood as well as important, deeply personal issues such as mental health. We have seen real growth in the boys’ capacity to make meaningful connections at school and they have experienced positive flow on effects in their family environments as well’
