At EGPS, student well-being is a cornerstone of our holistic education approach. The Student Leadership (SLD) Committee, in collaboration with the Student Development Team (SDT), is committed to nurturing a safe, supportive, and empowering environment for every student.

Together, we aim to:

Foster a caring and inclusive school culture
Equip students with resilient mindsets and life skills
Cultivate a strong culture of Peer Bonding, Peer Helping, and Peer Influencing, led by our Peer Support Leaders (PSLs)

Peer Bonding – (Fostering Bonds and a Sense of Belonging to the school community)

We adopt a whole-school approach to build a network of positive peer relationships. Key initiatives include:

Connectogram: A tool used to map student relationships, helping us identify students who may need additional social support and those who can positively influence their peers.
Peer Support Leaders (PSLs): Trained student leaders who actively reach out to peers, build friendships, and promote inclusivity.

We also promote peer bonding through initiatives such as:

Birthday Cards – celebrating each student’s special day
Be a Buddy Programme – pairing students to encourage friendship and mutual support

Peer Helping – (Providing Practical help and Social-Emotional Support)

We believe that every student can play a role in supporting others. To build a culture of care, we:

Provide opportunities for students to help one another
Train students to recognize signs of distress in their peers
Empower students to stand up for and support others in need

Peer Influencing – (Influencing mindsets, behaviours & advocating for well-being)

All EGPS students are encouraged to be positive role models. Students with leadership potential are selected as Peer Support Leaders (PSLs) and are given opportunities to:

Influence peers through positive actions and communication
Promote collaboration and empathy
Lead initiatives that make a meaningful difference in the school community
