Who We Are

At Unity Secondary School, our Peer Support Leaders (PSLs) play a vital role in shaping a caring and enabling school environment. Guided by the vision of a community where every student feels valued, accepted, and respected, PSLs are the heartbeat of peer support and relations in each class.

More than just leaders, PSLs are role models of compassion and respect. They bridge connections among classmates, promote well-being through meaningful class engagements, and nurture a sense of belonging built on care, trust, and respect.

The Role of PSLs

🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 Attend PSL meetings and workshops (2–3 times per month, every Tuesday or Friday)
📣 Facilitate class or school-level sharing on peer support and relations (PSR)
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Lead class engagement activities that build a positive classroom climate
💪 Support peers actively in class and CCA settings
❤️ Include and reach out to classmates proactively
🔒 Model accountability and integrity among peers
🎡 Plan and execute school-wide events promoting wellness and inclusion

Our Structure and Programmes

To meet the diverse needs of students, the PSL Programme is organised into three tiers of support, each led by PSLs and guided by teacher mentors.

Together, these efforts ensure that every student has access to meaningful peer connection and support — from general community-building to targeted care for students with greater needs.

Selection and Probation Process

Each class nominates PSLs based on teacher endorsement. Character Coaches select representatives by Term 1 Week 5, with all new PSLs placed on a Semester 1 probation period.

Evaluation Criteria
 Attendance • Punctuality • Positive Peer Support Behaviours • Active Participation

At the end of Semester 1, PSLs who meet expectations are formally inducted. Inducted PSLs are expected to uphold the team’s commitment and values throughout the year.
 Those who do not meet expectations will step down, ensuring that only the most committed and reliable students continue serving as PSLs.

This structure ensures continuity, consistency, and excellence in leadership across all classes.

PSL EXCO Team

Our PSL Executive Committee (EXCO) comprises eight senior PSLs who have demonstrated strong alignment with the PSL Vision, Mission, and Values, as well as conviction and commitment to the cause of peer support and relations.

Working in tandem with PSL teachers, the EXCO team:

●      Upholds and strengthens PSL culture and norms

●      Mentors and supports new PSLs

●      Leads in reviewing data to refine and improve PSL programmes

●      Plans meetings and coordinates major school-wide initiatives

●      Grooms future EXCO and senior PSLs to ensure leadership continuity

Through their stewardship, the EXCO ensures that the PSL movement remains student-driven, purposeful, and sustainable.

Key Highlight: PSL Spotlight

The PSL Spotlight initiative shines a light on students who go above and beyond to make a positive impact on their peers and create a supportive school community.

Every term, PSLs nominate peers who exemplify Unity’s values in action. The PSL EXCO shortlists and recommends awardees for recognition.
