Peer Support

To facilitate good peer relationships amongst students of all age groups, St Mary’s runs a vertical Peer Support program in Term 3. 

Each child in the school is allocated to a peer group.  The groups are led by 1 student from Year 6 and 1 student from year 5 with assistance from teachers.  As the group size is kept small (approximately 8 students per group) students have the opportunity to get to know each other well and to all voice their opinions on a range of issues including bullying, social justice, pastoral care and the development of resilience.
