Jacqui Jiang has recently connected and has formed a Mentor relationship with a younger alumna who is currently in 2nd year university. Earlier this year, the young alumna, having had 2 years of online learning, feeling a little unsettled and lacking in confidence, contacted the alumnae office at School to seek support. After careful vetting and consideration, we matched her with Jacqui who provided her with some advice, guidance and moral support. We were so pleased when Jacqui reported to us that this mentor match was ticking all the boxes. Here is what Jacqui had to say: "I want to say a huge thank you to the OLA for contacting me about the opportunity to tutor/ mentor an old Lauristonian girl. A couple of months ago I was asked if I could help an old Lauristonian with managing stress and university work. We figured that the best arrangement for both of us would be to organise 1-3 sessions each week, depending on her university workload and our other life commitments. My mentee has been a joy to work with - to be honest it doesn’t feel like work at all. Thank you OLA - it has been very special to connect with an old Lauristonian."
The alumnae office is proud to offer wonderful opportunities that supports students and young alumnae. Support may be academic, career and life support through our tutoring and mentorship program. If your daughter needs some academic support, or perhaps you are a young alumna who may need a little bit of advice, encouragement and wisdom from someone who has already walked the path you may be embarking on, we have dozens of alumnae and members of our community who have put their hand up to help. Send us an email, with details about what you're after in a tutor or mentor, and we'll reach out to our vast and very talented pool of members. Email mcveanca@lauriston.vic.edu.au. |
