The School Volunteer Program (EdConnect) was introduced at Clifton Hills in 2005. This program provides mentors from the community to work with children on a ‘one to one’ basis within the school. The caring and supportive environment the mentors create assist the selected children in a variety of ways, including, building self-esteem, assisting with school work and allowing the children to build a positive relationship with an adult who is not a teacher.
The children involved, love to see their mentors arrive at the classroom for their weekly sessions and the program is very popular amongst the students.
