The School of Values
"Giving students real value in education"
The Positive Mentor Middle Years Program is designed to empower students (Yr 9-10) by fostering resilience, self-esteem, and Positive Mental Health (PMH) practices. Kane, the Positive Mentor, is an experienced and qualified secondary school teacher and PMH and Positive Education practitioner, who will work with your child in 2 x weekly, 90-minute sessions tailored to their needs.
As a caregiver, you'll receive regular updates on your child's progress, and your input will be valued throughout the journey. Check out the testimonials from parents and past students:

Nick, Parent
Working with Kane was a great experience for our 14 year old son. We noticed a real shift in the way he talked about his strengths and a growing confidence in himself...he is thriving.
Ashton, Mentee
Kane was an incredible mentor. His constructive feedback helped me refine my work and think more critically to develop stronger skills. I’m genuinely grateful for the time and effort he dedicated to helping me.
Jacinta, Mentee
I think the entire program has been great and brought me lots of positive change. Discussing subjects with someone who expresses genuine care and consideration has made me feel much better about my school experience/future.
Sian, Mentee
He (Kane) encouraged a lot of self reflection and discipline which has helped me immensely since I struggled with self discipline at the start of my studies. He made it very easy to come to him with any problems for support.
Justine, Mentee
After participating in Kane’s classes, my confidence and self-motivation increased significantly. I discovered practical ways to work toward my goals and felt genuinely supported throughout the process.
Program At a Glance
Unlock Your Success Code: Harness Your Values and Strengths to Transform Behaviors and Actions
This evidence-based program is ideal for students who want more from their education, or simply can't find the right path. By employing a comprehensive approach rooted in Positive Education and wellbeing research, Kane helps students explore their Values, Strengths, Behaviours, and Actions (VSBA) and understand how these impact their motivation, self-perception, and engagement within the self, the community and the world.
Exploring the make up of the students motivations and how this enables them to move forward, or be limited, we structure pathways to understand how to navigate the challenges unique to the individual and thus beat them.
Utilising the innovative +Mentor Telescope Lens Model we deepen the analysis of the self, the community and the world to discover their roles they want to play and identify pathways to achieve their potential. With reference to Mental Health and Wellbeing, we also explore strategies to manage positive mental health practices throughout the stressful years of schooling and ensure they come out thriving.
