Defence School Mentor Program

The Heights School is proud to provide the Defence School Mentor Program to support our Defence students and families. In conjunction with the Australian Defence Force, we recognise that some children of service parents may experience some disruption to both academic and social aspects of their schooling each time they move.

This program consists of a school based position which focuses on the smooth transition into and out of The Heights School and practical support incorporated into the classroom, school and school community.
