ART AND CRAFT CENTRE
– where creativity knows no bounds
The art and craft is used for art, pottery, sculpture, and modelling.
Students have plenty of opportunities to use the centre in their free
time. Majority of the work done in the centre is displayed around the
college.
TOGETHER (mentoring and networking)
Together matches the students with mentors in professionally supported
one-to-one relationships. We have volunteer programs in communities
nationwide. Our volunteer programs are implemented to explore the
powerful, positive, lasting impact that our students and mentors can
have on each other. Unlike many initiatives such as this, both parties
seek to learn from each other sharing experiences, opinions and concern
they might have.
We have a vast number of mentors that support this program all around
the world and we strive to pair up teams with similar interests and
needs. Although we are responsible for creating a distinguished and
eclectic pool of mentors our students pick their mentors because we
believe they are best at communicating what they need. A lot of things
have to happen before we make a match. After they express an interest in
our volunteer opportunities, all our mentors go through a thorough
background check and careful interview process. Then we match our teamed
based on location, personalities and preferences. And we provide full
support for our location programs along the way – so that matches can
grow into lasting friendships.
School-Based Mentoring is a lesson in friendship! Kids enjoy
School-based Mentoring. And parents know what a difference it makes. But
some of the biggest supporters of School-Based Mentoring are actually
teachers. They see students come back from their one hour week mentoring
session with confident smiles, ready to learn to succeed.
Kids Who Feel About Themselves Do Better in School.
School-Based Mentoring is not a classroom program, and it’s not
tutoring. School-based Mentoring is one-to-one mentoring that takes
place in the schools. Of course, some students do talk with their
mentors about class, or do homework, or read together, but it’s really
all about friendship and guidance. You don’t need any special training
or certification. If you can spend one hour a week, arranged around your
needs and the school’s scheduled, you may be able to start participating
in our TOGETHER program this fall!
The school aims to give each student the best
opportunity to discover and develop his
abilities to the full.
While endeavouring "TO BE THE BEST", students are prepared as future leaders in
their chosen callings.
"These words, which I command thee this day, shall be in
thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto the children"
"We want our children
TO BE THE BEST".
