Year 9s Do Peer Mentor Training

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, 25 year 9s spent the day at Lydiard Park, along with Miss Carreiro and Mrs Barratt. In non-uniform, they were trained by professionals, focusing on the issues that may arise when dealing with scared, nervous Year 6 students. With help from Mr Thomas and Miss Hesten, pupils played 'ice-breakers' to familiarise themselves with activities they could use to help bond tutor groups.

Induction days are next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, with over 200 primary school students making their way to Greendown for their first glimpse of secondary school life.
