Student Mentoring Features in Wellbeing Programs
The program includes 4-5 social or team-building activities through the year which will occur around existing commitments to scheduled school and assessment activities.
It is great for the current Year 10 students to build on their “Invictus” program experiences gained during 2015, and to ‘step up’ and be role models for younger students, encouraging them as they transition into the Senior School environment.
“On Friday year 5 and year 10 buddy upped and had lots of fun doing activities. There were 4 activities, cyclone Gross, dress up skits, drop the egg and water balloons they weeper all really fun to do, I think all of year 5 and 10 enjoyed it. I really enjoyed water balloons but al of it was really fun!”

“The purpose of this program is to get to know some of the year 10 students, so when we go into year 7 we know we will have support from the year 12 students who we can go to if we are lonely or need something. After all the groups completed the 4 activities we enjoyed eating lots of watermelon. My favourite part of 5/10ths was the water bombs. It was really funny when the water bombs popped and splashed all over us. Overall I feel 5/10ths is a great program and a lot of fun.”

“I found the mentoring program to be a great success and an awesome way to involve senior students with younger years. The day was extremely enjoyable as we took part in numerous activities such as water balloon throwing, building a tsunami shelter, drama scenes and building a craft that was able to support an egg when dropped without the egg cracking. Overall it was an awesome opportunity and program!”
