PFP Pastoral Care

Settling into polytechnic life takes time. That's why you'll be connected to mentors who will help you transition into RP's unique educational environment.

Why Pastoral Care?

We recognise that students learn at different rates and that there are many factors affecting individual achievement. With a personal mentor, you will always have access to a listening ear and a guide to ensure your physical and mental well-being.

Mentorship also supports your personal growth and academic journey, offering a safe space to pursue your passions and aspirations

How Pastoral Care Works

Personalised Care

Mentor dashboards track your care journey, offering a more systematic overview of your progress. This enables mentors to offer more targeted care by quickly identifying issues, as well as opportunitites for potential growth.

Featured Mentors

PFP Mentor, Chong Hai -Yen

"Mentorship has always been a way for me to unravel hidden potential and bring out the best in my students. I believe my mentees will learn best when they feel safe and valued for who they are. Only by doing that, I can take the steps to elevate the learning journey of my mentees by proactively seeking support and forging collaborations with colleagues to bring out the best in them. Together, we design empowering leadership training programmes and curate impactful service-learning activities to ignite a spark of learning beyond books. This way, their learning experiences become more meaningful, impacting them for a lifetime."

— Chong Hai-Yen
Senior Lecturer

"My mentoring philosophy revolves around empathy, open communication, and a holistic approach to education and career guidance. I believe in understanding my mentee's unique journey, challenges, and aspirations with genuine empathy. As their mentor, I try to create a safe space for them to express concerns and explore ideas freely. By nurturing self-belief and a sense of purpose, I empower my mentees to navigate their educational journey and career path with confidence, resilience, and a clear vision for the future."

— Mush Ridzwan

"As a Mentor, I recognise and celebrate the unique strengths and potential within each student. My commitment is to guide them on a journey of self-discovery, fostering the cultivation of their individual talents. In my role as a Computing lecturer, I aim to demystify coding and strive to ignite a passion for IT in my students. Emphasising the acquisition of vital digital life skills, I prepare students for the VUCA world. Beyond academics, I actively encourage students to engage in sports and service-learning activities for a holistic polytechnic experience and to acquire crucial life skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, empathy and leadership."
