Peer Support
In Term 2, a Peer Support program was conducted between a group of Year 7 boys and Year 9 leaders. The program was conducted so Year 7 boys could meet the Year 9 leaders, and learn more about the College, discussing issues such as bullying and peer pressure. All the Year 7’s embraced the chance to relate to and become friends with the Year 9’s. From my point of view the experience was invaluable as it taught us the very nature of leading and setting the example to younger levels — it greatly enhanced our experience of the Leadership Program earlier in the year. Overall it was a great experience. A special thank you to Mrs Amy Ross for the organization which made the whole program possible.

Campus Leaders 2007
When we heard that we had been elected by our peers and teachers for the roles of Tiverton Campus Captain and Vice Captain we both knew we had a huge role ahead of us for the remainder of the school year. Over the last four terms we have done our utmost to provide leadership and do what is best by the College and for the De La Salle community. As leaders we became more involved in the school and performed various tasks expected of us outside of our school work. These included reading at Campus assemblies, speaking in front of year levels and being able to lead the Student Representative Council with Ms Marino, who does a fantastic job. We also had the opportunity to organize different events during the year, such as fund-raisers, casual clothes days and sports days. We were surprised at the amount of time and effort that goes into organizing, planning and making events happen. We would like to thank our Year 9 compatriots, our Tiverton peers and all of the Tiverton staff who have helped the Student Representative Council this year, as well as the Homeroom teachers for their cooperation through out the year. A special thank you to Mr Riordan for all his help and guidance throughout the year. We are both very fortunate to have had this opportunity to have led the Tiverton Campus and the responsibilities that come with it, and will help us with our future years at the College. We are both honoured to have been leaders this year. It was an experience we will never forget.
