Academic Mentoring Programme
In September of 2012 St.Aidans launched a new, exciting and innovative ‘Academic Student Mentoring’ programme which focuses on those students in the final year of their Junior and
Leaving Certificate course with the primary aim of ensuring that every student achieves their own individual academic potential in the state examinations.
This programme represents a formalisation of existing strategies and excellent practice in the area of student mentoring and its design and implementation reflects a real and proactive attempt to further improve the high standards of academic achievement that exists in St.Aidans.
The programme will continue to run in subsequent years thus ensuring all current and future students of St.Aidans ultimately benefit from its operation.
Purpose and aims
•To provide support, guidance and practical advice ensuring students achieve their academic potential in the state examinations.
• To give Parents greater involvement in their son/daughters learning so that they in turn can provide more focused support and guidance.
• To strengthen and enhance the partnership between parents and the school.
• To empower students and their parents through the setting of individual academic targets.
• To ensure that the importance of the state examinations is to the forefront of student thoughts throughout their 3rd and 6th year.
• To identify and address problems and concerns quickly and in a non-confrontational way.
• To allow all students to experience success through the achieving of their own targets.
• To remind students that the school and the teachers really care about them and want them to do their best.
• To ensure that no student goes unnoticed.
St.Aidans deeply values the involvement of Parents in this process and in all other aspects of their son/daughters educational experience. As our partners in education we view their contribution as fundamental to the impact and effectiveness of the programme.
