This program trains selected Year 9 students in the area of student support. Peer Support Leaders are assigned to Year 7 Home Groups to assist with their transition between Primary and Secondary School. Peer Support students work with Year 7 students in classrooms, assist students in the yard and act as a point of contact for new students.
The Peer Support Leaders help with the organization of events, cross age tutoring in programs such as ‘Fantastic Racers’ and are valuable role models for students in the areas of leadership and social skills at the school. The training and skills gained by Peer Support students provide them with a sense of citizenship within our community and in their capacity of school leaders they often represent Wonthaggi Secondary College at community functions.
