For schools
Supporting the students who don't fit the usual pathways.
A practical, relationship-based mentoring pilot for schools in the Whyalla region.
The problem
You already know who these students are.
Disengaging quietly. Struggling with confidence. Resistant to traditional support. Attendance sliding. Not in crisis - just not connecting. Trailhead exists for them.
What schools get
Low admin. High accountability.
A structured pilot
2 students, 8 weeks, Fridays. Low administration, high accountability.
Regular communication
Fortnightly updates to your nominated contact. End-of-program summary.
A credible mentor
Fully screened, experienced, professional. Not another service provider. Someone students actually trust.
