Support Our Students - Become a Gateway Partner
Are you an Old Boy or a local business owner keen to give back? We’re looking for partners to support our senior students through the Gateway Programme – a work experience initiative designed to help young men explore career options and gain valuable skills.
By offering a student one day a week for a school term, you’ll give them real-life insight into your industry – whether that’s construction, engineering, real estate, hospitality, healthcare, or the community sector. There’s no cost to you: students make their own way to your site and remain under our support and guidance throughout the programme. All we ask is that you provide a safe environment and some meaningful tasks.
This is a rewarding way to help shape the future of our young men and reconnect with the Shirley Boys’ community.
Interested or know someone who could help? We’d love to hear from you.
If you or someone you know might be up for it, flick our Gateway & Transition Coordinator, James McGifford, a message on 022 065 2637 or email [email protected]

Our mentoring program connects alumni with current students and recent graduates who are looking for guidance in their educational and career endeavours. Whether you’re looking to mentor someone in your professional field or seeking advice on navigating your next steps, our program is designed to facilitate these meaningful exchanges. Sign up to be a mentor or mentee and start making valuable connections that benefit your career and personal growth.
Be a part of a community that’s about much more than just networking – it’s about building lifelong relationships and making a positive impact.
