Year 9
This week during the Luminary program, Year 9 continued their Peer Support Training by engaging in activities about leadership experiences and interaction styles.
Year 9 began by exploring their past leadership experiences: roles on the sports field or in a music group, at work, or even at home as an older sibling. Students reflected on these experiences and discovered that the skills they developed in those roles could be transferred to new challenges, like becoming a Peer Support Leader.
To explore this idea, students created Leadership Experience mind maps, identifying where they currently lead and the skills they use to do it. From there, each group discussed:
- What skills do we all share as leaders?
- How can these skills help us guide younger students?
- Why does understanding different interaction styles make us better at working with others?
