Peer Mentoring is a structured program where students support younger peers with academic, social, and personal challenges, typically through one-to-one relationships, aiming to build constructive and supportive connections.

Our Peer Mentors are recruited from Year 10, with further opportunities in Year 12 to become Senior Peer Mentors. Year 10 Peer Mentors run The Den every lunchtime — a drop-in space for students who prefer a quieter environment. In The Den, we offer games, puzzles, reading, mindful colouring, and a friendly person to talk to. Our Year 12 Senior Peer Mentors work one-to-one with students from all year groups, providing support and guidance.

Peer Mentors are leaders who serve as role models in their school community:

• They listen
• They communicate effectively
• They are role models through their actions & behaviours
• They are practical and resourceful
• They guide and encourage
• They are kind and dedicated
• They offer support
• They are non-judgemental & open-minded
• They are responsible, they show up on time and follow through with tasks
• They are genuine

To work with a Peer Mentor please speak to a Head of Year or someone in Wellbeing, and we will arrange for one of our Peer Mentors to make contact.

Or if you see one of the team around school (they have red Peer Mentor badges) then please just say hello!
