STAFFIE
/staf.fee/The title given to you by the students as their mentor. Now, and forever.
The Staffies of Spark are instrumental to the success of the entire camp.
Along with having a fantastic time, Staffies must lead by example and keep in mind the effect their mentoring can have on students.
Mentors are expected to lead with enthusiasm, relate their own University experiences and speak about their own lessons learnt.
The Spark Training Program will provide its mentors with the confidence to tackle any situation that could arise on camp.
Three comprehensive training days develop the skills of the mentors in areas that are vital for the week.
The skills learnt will not only be required for Spark, but will also carry over well into a professional career in STEM.
Throughout the week at Spark, staff will live on campus as part of the mentoring experience.
Student focus is the primary target of the camp and should be the motivation for joining the mentoring team.
All staff roles are voluntary and we provide full accommodation and food during the training weekends and on the camp.
