Peer Support Training

Year 6 recently took part in a 2 day leadership training program for Peer Support. Throughout this term they work with multi age groups of 8-10 younger students.

Peer Support Australia provides school communities with an evidence based, peer led approach to enhance the mental, social and emotional wellbeing of young people.

The peer support program:

• provides students with a supportive learning environment in which to develop the skills, understandings, attitudes and strategies to improve mental well being
• develops key skills in resilience, assertiveness, decision making, problem solving and leadership.
