Patron SVPACT
“SVPACT volunteers provide a wonderful service to our young by committing time, friendship and interest, to improve scholastic outcomes, increase self esteem and develop a greater intergenerational respect, benefiting not only the individuals involved but the wider community. For our dedicated mentors, the personal satisfaction of positively influencing our youth is both tangible and long term.
I encourage members of the community, schools and businesses to actively support SVPACT in its very worthwhile endeavours.”
The SVPACT is a registered voluntary organisation, which recognises the unique place of volunteers in schools as mentors, confidantes and communicators.
Volunteers provide one-to-one time with students in activities such as literacy (reading, writing, grammar, etc), numeracy (maths and games), building with Meccano, woodcraft or Lego, craft and cooking.
Through the hourly visits each week, volunteers seek to assist students obtain maximum value from the education process, add value and purpose to the lives of all and enhance community involvement in our schools.
Volunteers bring to the student and school their dedication, inspiration and time and, under guidance of teachers, support the students learning in the classroom.
