 At the heart of our school’s culture is the belief that every child can be a positive influence and a caring peer supporter. Our goal is to create a caring and enabling environment where all students feel safe, supported and connected.

We aim to build a prosocial and strong peer support culture, where students look out for another and grow together. Students who demonstrate leadership potential are appointed as Peer Support Leaders (PSLs). These PSLs are trained and empowered with opportunities to lead with empathy, help their peers bond and provide support for one another.
