Hello
I heard at my school we allowed to pick a teacher to mentor us in year 12. Are any of you guys on the same boat?

 

[Charlotte00]

Yes, at my school they're implementing a new program for people who want to achieve 90+. Should be good.

 

[starshine02]

Yep. I think my school has this but it isn't for everyone. And I think we just get given a list and we get to choose.

 

[Shazer2]

Yeah, we have that at my school.

That's cool. I wish my school would do that lol, all of the teachers are pretty supportive of the higher achieving students at my school though, since its ranked in 400's somewhere

For any subject?, I would like to know more about this??

 

[madharris]

Wow that would be really good, I wish I had something like that.

Is it like study skills, organisation and stuff like that?

 

[atar90plus]

Not sure actually

Just overheard from friends that a mentoring programming is on in year 12

 

[LoveHateSchool]

Yeah they have it at my school too, where you preference four teachers to be your mentor in yr 12. Some teachers have lots of meetings with their people, some ignore them hah. I've had a mentor since like Year 8 though because you get a mentor for being a GAT student at my school.

It's a great program if you pick a good teacher that A) You get along with and B) Makes the effort with it. Super good for subject advice, uni things or just wandering into their staffroom when you want some free food and rant

This sounds so cool but I don't think my school has anything like this

 

[unLimitieDx]

[atar90plus]

Thats it!!!

 

[Parvee]

I wish my school had this

I think they're there to sorta motivate you, and keep you on track. As well as answer any queries you may have etc.

 

[starshine02]

At my school i think they just make you keep a diary kinda thing and they track your progress weekly. they also have quick meetings just to see how you're going throughout the year and i think that's about it. i think if you need extra help with a subject they try to get another teacher to give you some help...

 

[Kurosaki]

the concept sounds epic if they're actively involved in your school development. Lol its like a personal tutor.

My school doesn't have anything like this, but because I have small classes (my biggest is 15 people to a class) the teachers are quite close and good to us... My legal and my modern history teachers are always happy to have a chat or help drag a few extra marks, or mark practice papers or essays plans etc. They are generally happy to help anyone to bring marks up or just to talk.
