STUDENTS and mentors in Pyramid Hill College’s MATES program have wrapped up their year.

“Mentors were thanked for their valuable contribution, getting to know a young person and taking an interest in their well-being. Mentors and students have bonded extremely well - one mentor traveling from Kyneton to see her student,” Barb said.
