Mentoring Programme

The College has established a College Community Welfare Group to develop community welfare policies within the College and to identify problem areas, which require particular attention by staff or students. As part of its work the group has introduced a mentoring system. Under this system third year students are allocated a maximum of four students in Year 1 with whom they establish a contact relationship and give them advice and encouragement during the course of the year. A training course is provided in September of each year for volunteers. Broadly the mentor’s responsibilities include the following:

Listening to the needs of the students and assisting them in finding a social outlet that is appropriate to their needs.
Identifying students at risk and referring them to the appropriate help.
