We provide Mentors to assist Primary and Senior Students in an array of subjects.
We aim to cater for all areas of interest through a diverse range of staff that specialise in either Humanities, Maths or Sciences fields. Furthermore, we are currently expanding to offer Mentoring at a Primary school level, too.
All mentoring of subject areas are: focused upon the aims and objectives as outlined by the Australian Curriculum and ACARA; in close consideration of students’ individual learning, language and cultural needs.
English Mentors aim to ensure that students develop their listening, speaking, reading, viewing and writing skills. They are shown creative ways of creating texts for a range of purposes, audiences and contexts that demonstrate interpretive, persuasive and imaginative texts in a range of modes. They continue to learn how to deconstruct and analyze language and its varying uses through ongoing critical analysis and reflection.

Biology Mentors aim to develop students’ understanding of how biological systems interact and are interrelated; the flow of matter and energy through and between these systems; and the processes by which they persist and change. As well as an understanding of major biological concepts, theories and models related to biological systems at all scales, from subcellular processes to ecosystem dynamics. Further, an appreciation of how biological knowledge has developed over time and continues to develop; how scientists use biology in a wide range of applications; and how biological knowledge influences society in local, regional and global contexts. Mentors develop students’ ability to plan and carry out fieldwork, laboratory and other research investigations including the collection and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data and the interpretation of evidence. As part of the writing components of the subject, Mentors also assist students in developing their ability to use sound, evidence-based arguments creatively and analytically when evaluating claims and applying biological knowledge.

History Mentors aim to ensure that students develop knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the past and the forces that shape societies, including Australian society. Students learn understanding and use of historical concepts, such as evidence, continuity and change, cause and effect, perspectives, empathy, significance and contestability. Furthermore, students continue to develop their capacity to undertake historical inquiry, including skills in the analysis and use of sources, and in their communication.
