Year 8

 

Our study and mentor programs use OptimalWork.com to help the boys work at their best, at will. Incredibly, the teachings of St Josemaria Escriva align perfectly with the ‘neuroscience based principles’ of OptimalWork.com

 

Mirrabooka Year 8 Club

Boys in Year 8 attend Mirrabooka once a week, on a weekday. This year, Year 8 activity occurs every Wednesday afternoon.

On this day they do one hour of study, learn how to do mental prayer (silent prayer) in the chapel, attend a talk on different values, and virtues and play some sport.

During the study time, students are taken individually for a mentoring session with a counsellor.

Our mentoring program aims to help students to formulate concrete goals to help them develop the virtues. We currently use the inventory system developed by OptimalWork.com as the basis of our mentoring sessions.
