What is the Learning Assistance Programme?

The Learning Assistance Programme (LAP) is a student-centred volunteer-based mentoring programme designed to assist schools to implement one-to-one learning that supports, guides and enriches the wellbeing and learning outcomes of their students.

It focuses on the wellbeing, academic, social and emotional needs of students through the powerful and positive contribution of mentors.  The LAP Program has been running successfully at Coromandel Valley Primary School for many years and there are benefits for both students and volunteers.

Could you be a LAP volunteer?

LAP mentors come from all walks of life with differing experiences and talents. They may volunteer for LAP because:

• they have a genuine concern for other people
• they have a particular interest, talent, skill or language they wish to share
• their own child or someone they know is involved in the Programme
• they enjoy meeting new people
• they want an opportunity to learn more about the school through community involvement

If you’re interested in becoming a LAP volunteer please phone the front office or email jenny.tucker37@schools.sa.edu.au
