MENTORING
PROGRAM. MEET OUR MENTORS.
The Bring it On Dance Mentoring Program is an integral
part of our vision and mission to “Empower Youth”.
We believe that this can be done through positive role
modelling and imparting important leadership qualities
to the students. The Mentors are volunteers who have a
passion for the youth and have a desire to bring out the
best in them.
ROLE OF A BRING IT ON SCHOOL
Each school in the competition is allocated a mentor to
help support the students through the process. The role
of the mentor is to convey the positive messages of the
Bring it On, impart onto the students the value of their
identity, help bring the leader out of students and get
them working as a team.
School Mentor’s will develop a rapport with the student
group participating in Bring it On Dance, ensuring that BRING IT ON DANCE
a safe learning environment is established within the SYDNEY MENTORS 2018
team. The mentors also work closely with the supervising
teacher to help ensure that students partaking in Bring

QUALIFYING FOR
THE FINALS
For schools to qualify for the finals they must be placed
either first, second or third in their heat. All schools are
scored by the judges on the day of the competition and
the top three schools are announced at the end of the
event.
Schools that advance through to the Bring it On Grand
Final will have the opportunity to compete for prizes for

first, second and third place winners.
The wildcard can appeal is an initiative that we’re very proud of
at Bring it On. The can appeal came about when local churches
and charities that provided donated foods for needy families and
individuals in the community were running low on donations. We
saw this as a good opportunity to enhance the wildcard concept in
the competitions and would also be of benefit to the students in
