Year 6 Poised to Champion Peer Support Initiative!
The energy and enthusiasm were palpable as our Year 6 students recently embarked on an exciting training day to become our school's newest Peer Support Leaders! This dedicated cohort of students actively participated in a series of dynamic and engaging activities meticulously crafted to give them the proficiencies required for their forthcoming leadership roles.
The comprehensive training program deliberately concentrated on cultivating crucial attributes such as astute listening, empathetic understanding, articulate communication, and collaborative efficacy. Through collaborative challenges and engaging discussions, our Year 6 students learned valuable strategies for supporting their peers and creating a positive and inclusive school environment. Judging by the smiles and laughter echoing throughout the day, it's safe to say they thoroughly enjoyed the experience!
The Peer Support Program will officially kick off on alternate Fridays, commencing in Week 3 of Term 2. In this rewarding initiative, each Year 6 leader will be thoughtfully paired with another student within the grade, providing a friendly face, a listening ear, and positive guidance.
The Year 6 students demonstrated remarkable maturity and a genuine desire to take on this responsibility. They are incredibly excited about the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of their fellow students. We have no doubt that they will be fantastic Peer Support Leaders, and we look forward to witnessing the positive impact of their leadership throughout the year. A sincere expression of gratitude is extended to all the staff who be involved in this leadership program!
