Peer Support

Our Students at New Farm State School will continue to meet in their Peer Support groups every even week on Thursdays. This term they will  continue learning about the importance of friendships.

Types of friends was the focus at the end of Term 2. Children explored what encourages them to form friendships with different people (common interests, admirable qualities etc). Through activities, children identified that friends can fall into categories of 'best friends', 'friends' and 'people we know'. Children also discussed the fact that frienships change over time for various reasons. Discuss the different friends they have in their life and how friendships change. Some friends may be more important at different times in life. 

This week in Term 3 Week 2 the Peer Support session, children will be focusing on the importance of support networks and the roles that friends play in each other's lives. Children will construct a visual representation of this during the session. Encourage your child to identify friends they have who can provide support if the need arises.
