Mandeville Mentors High-achieving Alumnae share study tips

Every afternoon, the Mandeville Learning Centre is a thriving hub of activity, as students prepare to study, read, and learn.

At the heart of this sit our talented Mandeville Mentors, a group of high-achieving Year 13 Loreto Toorak students. The Mentors are employed to academically assist, extend, and inspire our current students, working face to face in the Mandeville Learning Centre with students from 3.00pm - 7.00pm Monday to Thursday, and 3.00pm - 5.00pm on Fridays. Students can book appointments online or come to the Mandeville Learning Centre for a walk-up appointment, provided the Mentors are free. The sessions are always informative and rewarding.

Mandeville Mentors work closely with academic staff to prepare seminars for individual subjects. The current suite of seminars includes VCE subject specific content, and Year 9 and Year 10 Mathematics support sessions. As examinations approach, the Mentors will be running sessions to prepare all students for these challenges.

We are excited to commence our Breakfast of Champions program once again this year. This is a targeted program which connects our Mandeville Mentors with Year 12 students every morning from 7.00am – 9.00am. The Mandeville Mentors provide assistance to current Year 12 students with their studies. There is no booking requirement for Breakfast of Champions and all participating Year 12 students receive a breakfast voucher for Café Mandeville.

The Mandeville Mentor Program keeps our newest Alumnae closely connected with Loreto Toorak, and forges links which last a lifetime. The School strives to connect students of different ages, with many crossage academic and social justice programs in both Rathfarnham and Senior School. The Mandeville Mentor Program complements these programs by maintaining positive connections between Alumnae and current students.

Each Mentor is an outstanding role model for our students and the Mandeville Learning Centre is proud to facilitate this important program.
