Mentoring on two fronts
Recall Geoff Wright seeking information of a CV style from members last year. That was the genesis of a club initiative aimed at it providing through its members a "mentoring" function whereby the experiences and skills of members could be employed in giving direction to others in the community.
This year Geoff and Ngaire Cannon and others have recently expanded on that. They arranged to tap into the expertise of fellow Rotarian Justin Wibrow of the Rotary Club of Kew on Yarra. Accordingly Justin graciously and freely has lead 18 of our number through two sessions on mentoring in effect formalising a framework of concepts and suggestions on how to get the best out of any mentoring program. This was conducted on successive Wednesdays this month and Justin took the 18 through an informative reference type manual on the subject. It was a very professional and informative couple of sessions. Thank you Justin.
Geoff Wright and his team of more experienced mentors are developing a Student Development Program with Steve Kimonides at Hawthorn Secondary College.
They have met with Stephen and the mentees for initial discussions on a Pilot Program. Some relationships have been already established with students.
Another area under consideration involves more detailed and extended interaction with "mentees" for instance involving stroke victims. This is work in progress.
See below the HRC members absorbing the material from Justin.
