Curtin Primary School has been a big part of our after-school Mentor Program for over ten years. In Semester One, senior students from Aquinas assisted with homework help, games and projects. We also mixed up the program with a gradual introduction to Sportsfun. Because some children cannot access local clubs or physical activities after school, Sportsfun offers a non-competitive and enjoyable program for about 13 children every Wednesday afternoon for six weeks. Sports included badminton, basketball, soccer, footy and volleyball. For the shy to the outgoing child, there was always something for the kids to do. Our leaders were fantastic and it’s always interesting to see the profound difference from when they first met to how their interact after a few weeks. This program would not be possible without the passionate support of Chaplain, Mrs Roxanne Morine.

The impact of ‘older brothers’ at Curtin Primary has led to service options for Year 11.5 students to be teacher assistants during the myFuture Program on Friday mornings. This will start in Week Three in Term Four and there will be an opportunity for four students to commit to a five-week program. It will be offered again in 2022. We look forward to continuing our partnership in years to come.
