Peer Mentoring

Last term, from weeks 8 to 11 the Year 7s, with the help of the Year 10 Peer Mentors, participated in Midweek Madness Football games. These were great opportunities to build inter-year and Inter-House relationships with some friendly competition. At the end of last term, we reached the end of Midweek Madness Football games when Badham defeated Docker in a tough Grand Final, an exciting end to the first term of high school for the Year 7s and a great culmination of all their hard work!

Year 10 Badham House Peer Mentors

It was a delight to witness the Sports Hall brimming with positivity and enthusiasm as Year 7 and Year 10 Peer Mentors injected their vibrant energy into the final stretch of a demanding Term 1. Wednesday lunchtimes became animated with camaraderie, music, and encouragement as the Houses engaged in their weekly football matches with great house spirit and friendly rivalry.

The determination was evident as the last round of games determined the contenders for the Grand Final; although Langley emerged victorious in their final match, they narrowly missed out on advancing due to a tiebreaker on points. Badham was victorious however, Docker won the Golden Boot award, scoring the most goals over the course of the competition. A huge thanks also to Lola Hush in Year 10, for refereeing the Grand Final match.

Sport is such a powerful connector, and it was fantastic to witness the active involvement of Year 7 students and the exemplary leadership displayed by the Peer Mentors throughout the four weeks of competition. Term 2 we will venture into our Midweek Madness with basketball taking centre stage from Week 6 onwards.
