Community engagement is a priority area for us at The Waratah Centre.
Our latest initiative has been the implementation of a Linkages Program between The Waratah Centre, Pennant Parade Tutorial Centre and Yates Avenue Public School. The program is comprised of two elements which are a mentoring aspect and a PDHPE Practical aspect. We mentor one of our own students who have demonstrated leadership qualities at school before we run a PDHPE session and a mentoring session for a troubled student at the visiting school.
As a result of this initiative, we have established a strong link between our school and the two mentoring schools.
