Peer Support is a great school initiative that allows an easier entry into high school for Year 7 boys, while also giving Year 11 students the chance to undergo training for the program. For the program, nine boys are selected per House to become leaders of Peer Support groups consisting of Year 7s  from the same House group.

During Term 1, groups discussed several issues and strategies that can be employed in regards to starting high school and life in general. Some of these topics included resilience, empathy and problem solving. Personally as a group leader, it was truly special to watch the confidence, values and friendships of the boys build and grow, and it was definitely a beneficial experience for my group, my co-leaders and myself.
