Standing Tall in Hamilton Inc.

Registered Australian Charity. School-based mentoring program supporting students at 17 primary and secondary schools in the Southern Grampians Shire.

Standing Tall in Hamilton Inc. (STiH) is a local charity and an award-winning, school based mentoring program. It was first developed and implemented in 2003 by Jeanette Pritchard, a teacher at Baimbridge College in Hamilton, Victoria. STiH recruits, screens and trains volunteer mentors from their local Community. These mentors are then matched with young people from our participating primary and

secondary schools. Mentors commit to a minimum relationship of one year. Mentors and their young people spend an hour each week together. One hour a week changes two lives forever! "Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best they can possibly be." - Rita Pierson.

Term 2 Cooking has officially wrapped up, and what a delicious term it has been!

Over the past 5 weeks, our mentors and mentees made an incredible 187 Taco Cheeseburgers - that's a whole lot of cooking and a whole lot of fun! 🌮🍔

While the Taco Cheeseburgers were a hit, the real highlight was seeing students try something new, connect with their mentors, and build confidence through shared experiences.

We're already getting excited about what's on the menu for Term 3... but you'll have to wait a little longer to find out! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

Watch this clip of an interview with the CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America discussing the findings of a recent study into their mentoring program.

We’ve always known that mentoring is powerful. This research helps confirm what we see every week in our own community—the incredible impact that consistent, caring relationships can have on a young person’s life.

To our funding partners and volunteers, thank you. This is what your investment of time, energy and resources is helping to achieve. Together, we are creating opportunities, building confidence, strengthening connections, and helping young people thrive.

From conversations and games to shared laughs and quiet moments together - mentoring is all about building positive connections that allow students to feel supported, seen, and valued.

As one student beautifully said - “𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙖 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙.”

Every connection looks a little different, but each one matters 💚

A recent mentoring session had students engaged from start to finish with a game of Scattergories!

Although the students had never played the game before, they were all willing to giving it a go - working alongside their mentors to come up with answers, write down ideas, and share their responses with the group.

The session was full of fun, teamwork, and a little bit of friendly competition! Everyone was so focused and having such a great time that we completely lost track of time!

𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝟮 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁! 🌮🍔

Over the past two weeks, our mentors and mentees have been busy in the kitchen making Taco Cheeseburgers - and they’ve been an absolute hit!

From cooking together and sharing laughs, to trying something new, these sessions are about so much more than just food. They’re a chance to connect, build confidence, and enjoy quality time together in a fun and relaxed environment. 💚

There have been plenty of smiles, lots of teamwork, and very empty plates! 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳✨

Thank you to The Speckled Frog for helping make our cooking sessions a little easier by supplying our pre-cooked beef patties and cheese - they taste sensational! We appreciate your collaboration and support. 💚

We can’t wait for the rest of our schools and groups to get cooking over the coming weeks!

Would anyone like the recipe? 🌮🍔😋
