The MERLE Program at HPSC

HPSC has had another successful term of hosting South East Community Link’s MERLE program!

MERLE is an Australian Government – funded program, focused on engaging and empowering young people in developing leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills. Over the past 11 weeks, HPSC has had another group of Year 8s, 9s, and 10s engage with the program, where students gained resilience, learned healthy coping strategies, positive engagement with the community, self-care strategies, and more. The points earned by the students by working together, demonstrating leadership and active listening, and showing personal growth throughout the program, earned the team a celebratory feast for this term’s final session. A huge thank you to Tyson from SECL for bringing MERLE to HPSC this term!
