Peer Empowerment Program

Four of our fabulous Year 9 students were selected to run a Peer Empowerment Program with 8, Year 5 boys at Serpell Primary School.

The aim of this program was to provide an opportunity for peer connection between high-school students and primary school students and develop leadership and problem-solving skills. Each week myself and the students visited Serpell Primary and delivered a program covering things like leadership and managing conflict.

The Program ended with Serpell Primary students running their own program at the Bupa Aged Care Home. This was an incredible experience for both DSC and Serpell Primary Students. The boys ran Bingo, had Christmas Decoration and Chain making workshops and also played board games with the residents.

I am so proud of Isabella M. 10E, Aliki S. 9A, Joel D-B. 9F and Saba K-E. 9K. They provided great leadership training to the Serpell Primary students and empowered them to run their own project. I would also like to thank Tania Vairamuttu, the Chaplain at Serpell Primary School, who helped to make this program a success.
