Year 7 Orientation Week and Peer Support
Throughout the first week of Term 1 new Year 7 students participated in Peer Support sessions as part of their Orientation Week. These Peer Support sessions were run by select Year 11 students who provided Year 7 students with communication, self-confidence and leadership skills to help bridge the gap between primary and secondary school and allow them to adjust to their new environment. These fun and engaging sessions were highly valued by the Year 7's:
