A Programme of
Welcome and Support
for the
Incoming First Year Class
This is a joint initiative led by the Guidance and Counselling
Department in conjunction with the
Year Heads of 1st and 6th Years aimed at making the transition
from primary to secondary education
more enjoyable and less threatening to our in-coming 1st years.
Senior students volunteer for consideration and are interviewed
to assess their suitability for the project.
They attend a workshop where their role is clearly shaped.
Throughout the year they work closely with the
Tutors and Year-Head of 1st year.
The benefits to the Mentors include practical opportunities to
experience the following
- Leadership skills
- Personal and Social skills
- Listening skills
- Social awareness
- Sense of Responsibility
- Team-work
- Communication skills
This is an opportunity to become involved in a project that has
the potential to help others
in a real and practical way. |
