Pre-Tertiary Mentoring Program for HSC Students

College is thrilled to be able to support a new initiative developed by current Paulines Jake Slaytor and Max Glanville; threefourfive.  threefourfive is a completely free online mentoring service for Year 12 students to help them navigate their way through the disruptions caused by the outbreak of COVID-19. The HSC is hard enough on its own, let alone when there is unprecedented disruption to all aspects of daily life.

Importantly, all of our mentors
