We are commencing our Peer Support lessons this term. The whole school participates in Peer Support for 30 minutes each fortnight. Two Peer Support leaders facilitate a small group of 8-10 younger students, who work together through a number of structured activities. Each teacher will supervise 2-3 groups in their classrooms. We are working on a module called Living Positively helping us explore the concept of optimism. The module runs for 8 sessions. Our first session, which will commence next week, enables the children to get to know everyone in the group, agreeing on how they will work well together and interact cooperatively with others. They will also begin to think about what it means to be optimistic. We encourage you to talk to your children about Peer Support every week, as it will help to reinforce the concepts learned in each session.
