🤩We love this light saber project! The mentee who did this excellent project said, “Experimenting is a good way of learning, if scientists can learn through experimenting, why can’t I?”

A group of our Mentors and Mentees recently went on a trip to Realm VR. It was very enjoyable for the Mentees who all had a keen interest in engineering or technology. As well as having some practical experience with the gear, they learned about The Realm VR as a business.

"Learning with my mentor is a lot easier as it's more flexible and I can study other things not on school curriculum" We're excited to be expanding our numbers and working in three new schools this school year, offering more students the chance to learn about what they love!

"After working with his mentor, this pupil has grown in maturity. He is more open about his future and prepared to explore goals to achieve his potential" - Some lovely feedback from our annual guidance teacher surveys!

"Being in a room with just me and my mentor helps me to learn to through my mistakes and gain confidence, after all you'll never learn anything or find a way to improve your learning if you don't show what you're already capable of" - Some lovely feedback from one of our students

At this point in term, we've been doing some reflection with students about how they are feeling about school. This was a lovely insight into how one of our young people feels her mentoring sessions have helped her to enjoy school more:

One of our mentees enjoyed a visit to the Dr Who Exhibition at the @NtlMuseumsScot. Highlights included learning about how inspiration for the show came from space and nature, plus some mind-bending sections on alternate dimensions and time travel!🧐

Several of our mentees are very interested in careers in food and hospitality after leaving school and have been spending their mentoring sessions developing their cooking skills. Today on the menu was some delicious sourdough pizza made from scratch by one of our fourth years!
