STRIVE TO EXCEL
PEER SUPPORT This week, we commenced our Peer Support lessons (as seen pictured below). The whole school will
participate in Peer Support for 30 minutes each week. Two Year 6 Peer leaders facilitate a small group
of 8-10 younger students, who work together through a number of structured activities. Each teacher will
supervise 2 groups in their classroom. 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 enabled the children
to get to know each everyone in the group, agreeing on how they will work together and interact cooper-
atively with others. They also be-
gan to think about what it means
to be optimistic. I encourage you
to talk to your children about Peer
Support every week, as it will help
to reinforce the concepts learned
in each session.
