Peer Mentoring

We provide the opportunity for students to work alongside teachers in mentoring younger students and supporting their learning.  Students develop interpersonal skills and learn the basic competencies involved in working with children.

Prefects

Year 12 students all have the opportunity to work as Prefects.  Almost all choose to take on this responsibility.  As high-profile roles, these help develop students' confidence and 'soft skills' which so many employers value highly.

Student Presidents

We reward our most committed Year 12 students by appointing them as Student Presidents.  We don't believe in popularity contests, picking favourites, or dishing out positions to those who interview the best.  It's simple; the more you put in during Year 12, the more likely it is you will be appointed as a Student President.
