My name is Lee Revell and I am privileged to be the Defence School Mentor here at  Mother Teresa School.  

The DSM Program provides support to children of Australian Defence Force (ADF) members and their families, through support during times of transition (into and out of a school on posting), or during parental absence due to deployment, exercise or courses. 

As the DSM:

• I assist the school to understand the needs of ADF families and their children
• I welcome and farewell Defence students
• I provide support to Defence students through class interaction, Kids Club and one on one support (as required)
• I publish a Defence newsletter every week  - which is emailed out to the primary communication email of Defence families
• I let teachers know, and provide support to students, if ADF members are  deployed, MWD(U), on exercise or absent for extended periods—please let me know if this occurs
• I assist with access to programs such as KidSMART, the Education Support Scheme and other relevant initiatives for Defence Families

I work every Monday and Tuesday and half day Wednesdays in even weeks.  I can be contacted on my email (leanne.revell@cg.catholic.edu.au)  or via the school phone number (6241 5604).
