Peer Support Program

The Peer Support Program is an example of our Franciscan faith in action as our Year 11 Peer Support Leaders show the sisterly love of Clare by working with the Year 7 students throughout the year, from the first day they enter the College. The transition to secondary school is one of the most significant that occurs in the life of a young person and the Peer Support Program has been integral to supporting our Year 7 cohort as they become part of the Ave Maria College community. The Year 11 students worked as a team of three to support a group of Year 7 students in their integration to the College. This included working with them during orientation, conducting Peer Support sessions and attending Year 7 camp. The Year 7 camp was a highlight for both the Peer Support Leaders and the Year 7 students. It was a wonderful opportunity for the girls to bond with their groups and to develop their leadership. Our Peer Support Leaders have been a fantastic support to our Year 7 students, enabling their growth and flourishing this year.
