"Mentorship" is the creation of a supportive relationship between a mentor and a mentee to enhance the latter's holistic development through positive communication in areas of mutual interest.  

The specific objective of setting up a Mentorship Programme (師友計劃) in Ying Wa is to tap the invaluable resources amongst our alumnae to complement the efforts of the teaching staff in facilitating the all-round development of Ying Wa girls. It is also hoped that the linkage between alumnae and our Alma Mater can be further strengthened through this process. 

If you are interested to contribute, as member of organizing committee, guest speaker or mentor, feel free to contact Miss Judia Yue (Programme Coordinator 2008-present).
