Aim

Mentoring seeks to offer support, guidance, encouragement and assistance to mentees while they endeavour to navigate through difficulties, face challenges and tackle problems. Through concerted initiatives, desired attributes are developed in the mentee.

The Context

Students of our SMHGGDCW are at a stage in life wherein they face a host of problems related to academics, relationships, health, stress, employment concerns etc. Due to varied reasons, students often do not confide their problems to anyone, which could lead to emotional imbalance, disheartenment and frustration.

This can be remedied through mentoring whereby the students are provided with academic and emotional support. Through their encouragement and guidance, mentors play an important role in nurturing the mentees’ aspirations, preparing them for future challenges, building confidence in them, motivating them to undertake challenges and fostering their all-round growth.
