Kanga Mentors

Introducing our updated Kanga Mentoring Programme, designed specifically to address behavioural challenges and support student growth.

Programme Overview

Our mentoring programme has two options one for fostering positive behaviour and one for building confidence. Depending on the child's needs they will work through a 6 week programme with associated work booklet:

Positive Behaviour Change Programme

Helps students break up their day with engaging activities, fostering key psychological skills essential for school success and allowing them to release pent-up energy in a fun way.

Confidence and Resilience Building Programme

Focused on helping shy or under-confident children, this programme highlights different psychological skills each week, paired with examples from sporting role models.

On both programmes Mentors guide students weekly in relating these skills to their lives, celebrating their progress along the way.

Key Benefits for Your School

Increased Student Engagement: By addressing motivation and behavioral issues, students become more involved in school activities.
Improved Academic Performance: Enhanced focus and self-regulation lead to better learning outcomes and reduced classroom disruptions.
Positive School Environment: Our program helps cultivate a supportive atmosphere, promoting social skills and emotional resilience.

Support for Staff

Mentors collaborate with teachers to reinforce positive behaviours and provide tailored support for students.

Programme Structure

Each session lasts 40 minutes and consists of:

15 minutes for discussing the week’s events and completing the Kanga Mentoring Booklet.

25 minutes of activities designed to boost concentration, release energy, and elevate mood in a controlled environment.

We believe that the Kanga Mentoring Programme can make a significant difference in the educational experience for your students. If you're interested in learning more, we would love to arrange a meeting to discuss how we can work together.

"The mentoring sessions from Kanga have had a positive impact on the children's social and mental wellbeing. The children that I had chosen to work with Kanga had difficulties with working in a social environment, they struggled to express their emotions appropriately. This often led them into trouble because they expressed their emotions through fighting and inappropriate behaviour. Since Kanga came in gave them targets to achieve it has given them a purpose and something to look forward to each week. The sessions have helped to control their emotions and express them in an appropriate manner, they have learned to be calmer and shown behaviour that is acceptable in a social setting (taking turns, waiting, not resorting to fighting on the first instance)."

My hobbies are playing Cricket, spending quality time with my little family and enjoying watching and playing most sports in my spare time!

I personally really enjoy the mentoring process, seeing a big difference in a child’s behaviour and attitude really does make it worthwhile. I believe it makes them feel confident, whilst giving them short term targets to aim for and succeeding with them.

In my spare time I enjoy spending that with my two children & friends, playing many sports whenever I have the chance. I am also a passionate coach outside of the school setting.Having coached and taught within schools for many years, I believe mentoring is going that extra mile to ensure we focus on the whole child.

Mentoring is about having someone in your corner who can provide valuable feedback, encouragement and support to help you grow both professionally and personally.
