Peer Support Grand Finale = Pure Joy!

Our Peer Support Grand Finale was an absolute triumph, bringing together 130 Year 7s and 60 of our incredible Year 11 leaders for a day packed with EPIC fun.

The energy was unreal — full of laughter, connection and true whanaungatanga (kinship/connection). You couldn’t help but leave feeling uplifted. 💛

Our Year 11 leaders were outstanding, fully embracing the day and building awesome connections with their younger buddies through teamwork and fun.

👏 Huge shoutout to our Year 13 Outdoor Education class for delivering such a high-energy, well-run event — your enthusiasm made the day unforgettable!

That’s what AC spirit is all about.

The Peer Support programme plays a huge role in developing a sense of belonging for our new students and setting the culture of our college. Throughout Term 1, they regularly met with their mentors for activities and conversations to build lasting bonds.
