"Leave Your Legacy" believes in the philosophy of character education.
A person’s character is a set of virtues they possess that guides their behaviour. Character education is an educational approach that involves teaching positive virtues so that students can make good decisions and flourish in their lives. Examples of these virtues are integrity, compassion, curiosity, resilience and kindness.

MORE INFO...
Our mentoring program is facilitated once or twice a month after-school. These sessions are in groups and or one-to-one. There will be Math, Science, English etc., activities focusing on building academic confidence, character and a growth mindset, combined with fun group activities such as sports, arts and crafts.
Mentors encourage the students to reflect on their use of good character in and outside of school.
Providing young students with mentors will help them to prepare for the challenging transition into secondary school.
Each two-hour session includes an hour of one-to-one individual academic mentoring.
The second hour is an extra-curricular group activity centered around character building, such as sports, coaching, drama/art etc.
Our mentors help students navigate through challenging years and ultimately prepare them for academic tests/exams and transition into further education and eventually the workforce.
"Leave Your Legacy" mentors are volunteers from all walks of life, backgrounds and ages and are driven to help young students succeed .
