Defence School Mentor Program
St Edmund’s College Defence School Mentor Program provides support to Australian Defence Students and their families.
The Defence School Mentor Program helps to minimise the impact the mobile lifestyle has on Defence students’ education. The aim of the program is to welcome Defence students, helping them integrate into our college community. The Defence School Mentor (DSM) supports students and families during this time, as well as when a family may experience an extended absence due to operational reasons.
The Defence School Mentor Program is funded by the Department of Defence, and the DSM is employed by individual schools. Communication is welcomed and will enable the provision of the best support services, ensuring a happy and productive experience at St Edmund’s College.
In the spirit of reconciliation, St Edmund’s College acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
