School Mentoring Programs
Leading School Mentoring Programs in Sydney: Sports Ability
At Sports Ability, we understand that young people today face unique challenges both in and out of the classroom. Academic pressures, social changes, mental health concerns, and family circumstances can all impact a student’s ability to feel engaged and supported at school.
That’s where our School Mentoring Programs in Sydney make a positive difference. By pairing students with trusted and trained mentors, we create a safe, supportive space where they can open up, learn new coping strategies, and build skills that last a lifetime.

Types of School Mentoring Programs We Provide
We offer flexible program models that can be tailored to fit the needs of each school community:
One-on-One Mentoring:
- A student is matched with a mentor who meets them weekly. These sessions provide personal attention, helping students set goals, talk through challenges, and build resilience in a safe environment.
Group Mentoring:
- Small groups of students come together with a mentor for guided sessions that encourage collaboration, teamwork, and peer learning. This model works especially well for building social skills and reducing isolation.
E-Mentoring (Online Support)
- Using secure digital platforms, mentoring can be smoothly delivered for schools that need flexibility or have students who benefit from online engagement.

Program Design - Choose the right mentoring model and schedule for your students.
Mentor Selection & Training – Mentors are carefully chosen and trained to work with young people.
