Archbishop McHale College is currently operating a school based mentoring programme called Big Brother Big Sister.
The programme aims to match a first year student with a transition year student.  The purpose of this match is that the two students develop a friendly and positive relationship that will ultimately benefit them both.
The Big Brother Big Sister programme is an initiative  hosted by Foróige, a National Youth Development Organisation.  Mr. Kennedy who has been trained by Big Brother Big Sister personnel then facilitates the programme along with project workers from Youth Work Ireland.
