GOALS

GOALS is designed to encourage the completion of high school and widen the aspirations of students in their middle years of secondary school.  

Students from low socio-economic schools often have little opportunity to network outside their immediate community and limited access to corporate professional role models who can demonstrate a variety of career options. Mentors sharing their own career journeys and challenges can make an enormous impact as students consider their options for the future, including whether or not they should leave school early.  

GOALS focuses on building students’ confidence, the importance of setting goals and continuing their education to Year 12 and beyond. Students work with mentors on activities that include goal setting, communication, values, and personal strengths.  

Typically, students who take part in the program are drawn from Year 9 and have been identified by their school as students who would benefit from a mentor.
