Leadership Workshop Success

Last week, Year 6 students spent two days honing their leadership skills in preparation for their role as Peer Support Leaders. The students particpated in a variety of activities aimed at building their communication, leadership and cooperation skills as well as developing their understanding of group dynamics. This week these students will have the opportunity to put their new skills to the test as they begin the first session with their peer groups.

The leaders will each take a group of students from Years 1 to 4 and lead them through lessons designed to reinforce the school's core expectations of Respect, Responsibility and Personal Best. It is a wonderful opportunity for the students to act as role models and to develop a closer bond with the younger children.

At the same time Year 5 students will be working with their Kindergarten buddies, building rapport and providing support to our youngest students.
