Our year 13 cohort have completed their last first term of high school.

 The busy term has seen these students step up and embrace leadership and extra-curricular opportunities while balancing their academics. Peer Support - a mentoring programme that fosters relationships between the year 9 and 13 students had a positive impact on the transition to high school for our younger students. Through the six week programme our year 13 students engaged the year 9’s in numerous activities that fostered positive relationships, leadership skills and critical thinking. The year 13’s were instrumental in running a successful Peer Support Programme.
