M.E.N.T.O.R.I.N.G.

Well this sem i bacame a Mentor at Uni, what we do as mentors is actually assist new students with everything and anything related to their life at uni in their first sem especially. As mentors our main duty is to help out at O-week (orientation week) we have to help register the new students as they go for their orientation,take pics, set up morning tea, take part in games with them,take them on a tour of the campus and at the end of it all help them enrol in their classes for their first sem and get them a timetable..its really fun because we get to meet so many new ppl from different countries and its a great way to network! some parts of it was hard because of communication barriers...and enrolling was chaotic! coz classes were being filled up so quicky, and some ppl had classes at the weirdest times ever! and they were not happy at all......


even us mentors got along well..and had loads of fun just hanging out inbetween sessions when we were not needed..hahahaha!! the last day of o-week was ended with a BBQ, aussie style, that was good, we were so busy eating and talking we forgot to take pics!! then after the lunch us mentors just hung out in the games area of uni playing ping pong, para para dancing, racing and all sorts lah....it was indeed a great way to spend 3 days of the last week of hols. Although it was tiring it was an amazing experience!!


plus we get some great benefits from doing mentoring:


1. we get so much valuble experience

2. a certificate, and a write up to put on our Cv

3. a Thank you lunch at the end of the sem's mentoring pogramme

4. staff of the uni know how capable u can be

5. A t-shirt and name tag

6. lots of lollies

and so on.......hahahhaha...!! it was good....must do it again next sem



here are just 3 pics of us ...but its not all of us mentors....so many missing!!! coz us gals were taking pics...but the guys all seemed to be somewhere else! I think the pics with them are in our welfare advisors camera.
