I think it’s really important that every child gets an opportunity to be a school leader … It’s great to watch their self-discovery of the skills that they perhaps didn’t really know they had either – and the strengths that they might have had – and being able then to reflect on what they do each week.

The skills I learned while being a Peer Support Leader – obviously leadership, as it was a leadership role. And I really learnt how to build my confidence up and I learnt how to speak properly and [be] more engaging to kids.

The skills I’ve been learning from being a Peer Leader are how to be just a leader in general … Before I was a Peer Leader, I wasn’t very confident about doing it. I’ve learned that it’s actually really fun.
