Peer Mentoring Programme
A safe space for our younger students (mentees) to reflect, feel heard and be supported.
A growing opportunity for the older students (mentors) to be empowered with leadership skills.
The Peer Mentoring Programme was founded in 2019 by Ms Ford, the Deputy Head of Secondary Care and Guidance Leader, and Mr Randall, our then Drama teacher and Programme Coordinator. Currently, we have a total of 28 trained mentors across Year 10 and Year 13. These mentors and their mentees meet regularly to discuss the mentees' goals and concerns, supporting them with suitable strategies for each situation. With their new skillset as a mentor, they have created and will continue to make a tremendous positive impact in our community!
In next week's newsletter, you will learn more about the origins of this flourishing programme, and how subsequently it created another dimension to the learning experience we provide here at BISB.
Stay tuned to peek into more exciting behind-the-scenes stories about this programme!
