Peer Support Relationship

Peer Support Relationships @ Palm View Primary

Peer Support Relationships (PSR) initiative builds on our school’s culture of care. It aims to create a supportive and caring environment so that our students will feel safe, accepted and empowered. 

This leads to positive child & youth development and risk prevention, as well as improved student learning and academic achievement.

The three domains of PSR are: 

1. Peer Bonding

2. Peer Helping

3. Peer Influencing

There are also two tiers of implementation of Peer Support Relationships @ Palm View Primary.

• Tier 1: Every student a peer supporter

• Tier 2: Selected students as Peer Support Leaders (PSL) to lead, champion and advocate PSR efforts

All students, as a peer supporter, will be taught skills to better support their peers. Some of these skills include: 

• How to be a better listener

• How to befriend their peers

• How to be a better friend 

Peer Support Leaders (PSLs), on the other hand, will go through specialised training to take on a leadership role in school and lead the peer support efforts. They will also be supported by the PSL teachers, the School Counsellor, Special Needs Officers and the Student Management Department. 

Peer Support Leaders’ main roles will include: 

In our efforts to provide a caring and supportive environment for our students, Palm View Primary School will leave no child behind.
