"One thing that stood out for me today is that although we are all really different, there are lots of things that we all share."

All the components of the Peers program are designed to equip students with the motivation, knowledge and skill to effect positive change in their school. The goal of being a Peer is to collaborate with other students within the network to plan school-wide initiatives that will address diversity issues for the entire student population. These activities and events are designed to demonstrate the value of diversity and inclusion while measurably reducing incidents of anti-diversity behaviour like bullying and exclusion!
Our educational model is driven by dialogue, reflection and strategies that benefit bullies, victims and bystanders alike. We are guided by ongoing collaboration and consultation with educators and researchers who point the way through the sharing of best practices and sound pedagogy.
Peer Leaders Network is a successful whole-school approach that arms students with a repertoire of skills, strategies and tools to help them create a culture of respect and understanding.
