The first meeting of the 1st Year Homework Buddies Club took place on Wednesday, 20th September 2017. A group of Transition Year mentors were trained to assist the 1st year students with their written homework and revision tasks. Each TY mentor was allocated a select number of students to work closely with during the session. Mentors made a checklist of tasks that their 1st year buddies had to complete. They offered instruction, guidance and support to the 1st year students, helping them to complete their homework. The TY mentors did a fantastic job of assisting the 1st year students who are already looking forward to next week’s meeting. May the great work involved in our Saint Vincent de Paul Befriending/Education Project continue.
