Service opportunity for Year 11 Senior Buddy Peer Support Program
Year 11 students keen to develop their links with younger
students are trialing a new form of peer support.
Volunteers from Year 11 have offered to help Year 7
students with their tasks, homework and studies across a
range of subjects.
At a recent Year 7 Form Meeting, Stephanie Orr and
Kenzie Taylor of Year 11 outlined the plan for flexible peer
tutoring:
A student wanting some help from a senior buddy sends an
email to the administrator. The information is put into a
Google drive document that also contains the names and
subject specialties of the senior buddies. Stephanie, Kenzie
and Lily Bruce then match up the Year 7 student with a
suitable senior buddy and introduce them to each other.
Peer Support Plan As Year 7 students have many assignments/tasks at the moment, a new plan is being tried this term. This plan aims to offer help to students who would like the assistance of a senior buddy as they work on their tasks. What would a buddy do? Buddies will • Help students understand the question and task instructions • Suggest where they might find information • Demonstrate how to make notes • Suggest how students might arrange their responses • Proof-­‐read and help edit responses The Year 7 student would be linked up with a suitable Year 11 student. The student and buddy would meet at lunchtime or at Pitstop after school in the Library at a time that suits both girls If students would like a senior buddy email: Miss O’Haiher on [email protected] The buddy pair then exchange emails and arrange meetings
at lunch or afterschool in the library at times to suit them
and when needed.
A number of pairs have already been set up, just in
time for the many assignments and tests that Year 7 are
managing. The pairings will be reviewd each week to
make any adjustments required.
It is planned to extend the program to Year 8 in 2015 and
to offer information sessions to the Year 11 buddies who
would like to review junior tasks/units as they help the
juniors.
Opposite is the flyer published in Year 7 homerooms to
introduce the program.

By Sister Lecia RSM
“Unless you become as little children you shall not
enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” Matt 18:3
Today I will consider St Therese’s “Little Way of Love”,
as a help to developing our own spirituality. Therese
likens it to the love that exists between a mother and
child.
Just as the child is supported at all times by its mother, so
too are we wrapped in God’s Love every moment. Without it, our hearts are restless. This Little Way
of Spiritual Childhood is marked by Love, Humility, Confidence and Abandonment.
Love is something we learn from first being loved, and something we can then perfect by practice.
It includes a childlike and absolute love for God our Father, as well as concern and care for our
neighbor. What can we give God except love? What does God want from us except love? We can put
aside all other attributes of God, like his omniscience and omnipotence, and see only one thing: His
love! Love shines out of the words of Jesus: “If anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father
will love him, and we shall come to him, and make our home with him.”(Jn 14:23) This is the source
of the power we have to give God a love worthy of Him.
The Blessed Sacrament was the centre and inspiration of Therese’s “Little Way”. In it she found all the
secrets of the Father’s love. Though our Saviour has ascended to Heaven, He remains accessible to
us here in this valley of tears as a small white host, to nourish the soul of his little child with his own
substance and to dwell in it. In complete simplicity of outlook, Therese saw the whole of the Catholic
Church, with its Hierarchy and Sacraments, existing solely to plant the seed of divine love in each
soul and lift it up to God.
What is Humility? It is dependence on God. Just as a little child relies on its mother, so does the little
soul depend on the Father for everything, especially its life of union with Him through the dwelling
of the Holy Trinity. If we rely entirely on grace, we will be led through perils to great sanctity. It is the
littleness of the little soul that makes it realise its dependence on the Father. Such humility, which
is the essential foundation of the Little Way, is the most powerful thing in the world, for it is the key
that unlocks the soul to grace by removing self-love and pride. The Sacrament of Reconciliation takes
its place quite simply in “The Little Way” as the Father’s plan for emptying the soul of self-love and
enabling the little one to take firm hold of God’s hand again.
Confidence, Trust and Abandonment to the merciful love of the Father spring from Humility. All
the Heavenly Father needs is a look, a cry, a prayer, and He is there to do all in us and for us. How
could we fear such a tender friend? Therese says God carries us in his arms, as we love Him with
quality one day at a time.
Best wishes, as you ponder this mini account of “The Little Way”, from Sr Lecia, RSM
