Peer Support
Peer Supporters are elected from each House. Their role is to offer a sounding board to pupils of all ages in the School and most particularly within their own Houses.
Peer Supporters receive formal training in listening skills and they are able to help pupils with issues to find the right adult with whom they can share their problems and receive appropriate support. The position of Peer Supporter is always hugely oversubscribed; it is a fundamental quality of Haileybury pupils that they genuinely care for others and want to give something back to other, younger pupils and to the School in general.
Each of the elected Peer Supporters brings personal experiences to the role, from those who have battled with and overcome leaving home to board, to those who have travelled across the world away from their families to fulfil their academic education in a foreign language, to those who have perhaps suffered bullying at previous schools and overcome such issues or those who have just loved their life at Haileybury and want others to experience similar joys during their time at the school.
Peer Supporters are easily recognised by their yellow smiley badges which they wear with immense pride.
