Peer Support Program

Next term, St Bede’s will be implementing the Peer Support Program. Peer Support is a student-led, skills-based, experiential learning program. It encourages peer connections throughout the school and assists students in developing practical skills to enhance social and emotional wellbeing.

Peer Support equips students with the skills and tools to build strong relationships and positively navigate life. Students learn the social and emotional literacy skills to better manage life’s ups and downs.

Senior students (Year 5/6) will be trained as Peer Leaders and lead small groups of K-4 students in weekly structured sessions under the supervision of classroom teachers. Sessions will run for 8 weeks and will focus on the topic ‘Keeping Friends’.
