What next?
The programme has continued, with some slight modifications.
The programme will be repeated next year. Student feedback suggests more frequent formal meetings would be beneficial. Year 12 students noted that sometimes the younger students can be nervous about approaching an older one, although some do, and that if there were additional meetings this would make relationships easier. The mentoring process may be enhanced through use of the school's intranet and system of class "conference folders."
As part of an initiative to make Technology teaching a seamless progression from junior to senior levels in the school, Year 13 students may be used to introduce the subject to junior students.
