Peer Support Programme Delivers the School Values

At the start of the school year, a group of Year 13 students volunteers to take part in our annual Peer Support Programme.

The Peer Support Programme is designed to help assist Year 9 students with settling into their new school environment, and the programme lasts for six weeks. The Tear 13 students each work with the new year 9’s in their form class, and do fun activities each week on a Wednesday for 50 minutes before the start of school; often these are focused on hauora (well-being) and setting them up with healthy habits that they can use throughout high school. Not only is this a really great way for the Year 13 students to apply and develop their leadership skills, but it also helps the Year 9 students to create friendships and bonds beyond their year group. It is also a great way of welcoming them to their new school. The response to the Peer Support Programme this year has been extremely positive, with both Year 9 and 13 students enjoying the experience and gaining much from it.
