PEER SUPPORT

Master-in-Charge: Ms Vanessa Bauer

The Peer Support Programme aims to utilise the positive role model senior boys can be to the younger boys in the School. It fosters communication and friendship between older and younger students, students of the same age, and between students and staff. Students develop a greater sense of belonging through their involvement and responsibility within the School. The Programme provides a structure for Year 11 students to develop leadership skills while assisting small groups of Year 7 students.

All Year 11 boys undertake Peer Support leadership training as part of the Year 11 Conference. Boys then nominate to be considered as a Peer Support leader, and gain experience in leading a small group of Year 7 boys from their House.

Meeting Details:
Meetings are held one lunch-time per week (1:15pm to 1:55pm) in Terms 1 and 2, with the Year 7 Touch Football Competition being conducted during various lunch-times in Term 3.
