A new school has opened in Narre Warren in which every student is personally mentored by a staff member.

Harkaway Hills College is a ‘Parents for Education’ (PARED) school, a model which encourages staff to have a relationship with the children outside of the classroom.

‘If you have those, an average student can do very well these days,’ Mr Monagle said.
