Eddie Alberts loves helping his daughter Tabah and other children when he mentors at Cherbourg State School<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

December 13, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tabah Albert\u2019s education was given a boost when her dad Eddie entered the classroom as a mentor.<\/p>\n

Mr Alberts sat with Tabah and her Year 5-6-7 classmates at Cherbourg State School to help them with their work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tried to help other children with their work but they thought I was grumpy,\u201d the school\u2019s Parent of the Month for November-December said with a laugh.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a bit of a challenge but I enjoyed it.\u00a0It was rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n

Principal Peter Sansby said the mentoring Mr Alberts and others from the community did with his students had made a huge difference to the school.<\/p>\n

\u201cParents were able to see what went on in the classrooms, understand the value of education and the efforts of the teachers a lot more,\u201d Mr Sansby said.<\/p>\n

Mr Alberts often suggests to other parents they should have a go at mentoring and he now spends five days a week doing it.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir children won\u2019t play up in class when they\u2019re with them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I can get a (Parent of the Month) certificate for spending my time with them, then anybody can do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tabah said she loved having her dad help her in the class and at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just nice having him around,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
