One of our final sessions for our Kau Taki intervention was the 'shadow your Y9 mentor' day. The purpose of it was to give the Y8 learners a day to experience what a typical day in High School felt like.
The year 8 learners followed their mentors to class, did the work they were doing and engaged in conversation about it.
When I picked up the Y8 learners at the end of the day, they were so excited to share how their day went. Student A: "Miss I am so excited for College"
Student Sp: "Miss to be honest, I was a little anxious this morning but now that I've been through it, I think i'll be allgood come Day 1 next year"
Student B: It was fun Miss, a whole lot of independence. I guess who just have to make sure you're doing the work and you'll be fine in college
All x6 students shared the experience was positive and were grateful for it.
What a great concept. Thanks for sharing this intervention. Those students are very fortunate to have had this.
