﻿Mentoring at Diamond Valley College WELCOME TO OUR PROGRAM This wiki has been set up for people to learn about the progress of the Mentoring Program at Diamond Valley College. This space should allow others to follow the progress of our program, add helpful comments, ideas, and possible references. It will also give students a place to read about how the organisers of the program see it progress. If students would like to comment on the program there will be space on the college moddle site [] from 2011.

=BACK GRO ﻿ UND TO PROGRAM = ﻿During 2009 our college was looking for ways to help our students set goals, improve their time mangements skills and raise aspirations for life after secondary college. We recongise that studnets say they have good relationships with their teachers and that they like their teachers. At the start of 2010 teacher Alex Connor started a Masters in School Leadership. Part of the Masters Program is an Action Reasearch Project to be implimented at the college. After consultation with the Prinipal of the college it was decided we should start a Mentoring Program linking staff and senior students together to help individual students achieve their very best. For additonal information please refer to the left had colum of this wiki where you can find extended back ground information, discussion of key articles as they are completed, references for studies of mentoring programs, and the steps we are taking to impliment this program.

Our aim is to help our students realise their goals, view their final year of school as a challenge, but not a stress, and at the end of the year be able to leave our college with 'no regrets'.

﻿﻿An Action Reseach Project allows us to study our college. It is a chance for us to focus on learning more about the issues involved with Mentoring and gives us a chance to really evaluate the success of the program.
