Mentors

The main purpose of mentors is to give advice of school and studies at upper secondary school to new students. For example, if new students want to know how to get ready for the exam week, mentors can help them by talking about their experience. They can advise what you should do, or what you definitely shouldn’t. Mentors are just ordinary students, not perfect A-students, and they like to help others to get into studying. They also do marketing at our school.

On the very first school days, mentors organize different kinds of activities for the first year students e.g. getting to know each other with different games and activities. 

A few weeks after school has started, mentors and first year students have a special day to get to know each other. No schoolwork etc., only playing games and having fun.

During the rest of the year mentors visit ninth graders and future first year upper secondary school students in career counseling classes and tell about the studies at upper secondary school, the exam weeks etc.
