GOALS is a one-on-one mentoring partnership that aims to widen the life choices of students considered to be at risk of disengaging from school and those students who would benefit from mentoring support. Whether it is the environment, circumstances or resulting attitudes that discourage the student from completing school, the mentoring program seeks to engage and encourage them to achieve a productive working and personal life.
The program broadens the experiences and understanding of students and mentors alike, and offers opportunities to meet a more extensive group of students and business people. The program endeavours to be mutually beneficial to students and mentors.
What is involved
A volunteer from a member company is matched with a high school student. Students are carefully chosen to ensure that those most likely to benefit are involved in the program. When matching mentors with students, the school and the ABCN consider compatibility of interests, goals, skills and experiences.
Mentoring sessions run for 90 minutes. The first meeting is held at the school, with subsequent meetings at a range of corporate venues.
Each mentoring session includes:
Individual discussions between mentor and student
Joint activities with other GOALS participants
Group discussions e.g. goal setting, building rapport
Presenting student's work or findings.
The student and mentor always meet in a group context and are accompanied by two teachers from the school, to ensure complete compliance with the Child Protection Act.

How to be involved at Holroyd High School
Year 9 students have the opportunity to apply for this program in Term 1. After submitting their application, students will then undertake an interview with the GOALS co-ordinator, Mrs Beynon and the Deputy Principal, Mrs Carrick. If students are successful, a permission note will be sent home and the program will commence in June.
On the days that the GOALS program runs, students travel by train into the Sydney CBD. In the morning, students participate in an excursion eg. Wildlife World, Sydney Aquarium. After the excursion, the students go to a company head quarters and meet with their mentors. During the session, they are provided with lunch and work through a series of activities based on different skills needed in the workplace.
