Big Sisters / Little Sisters

Big Sisters / Little Sisters is a mentoring program that matches each Grade 7 girl with a Grade 12 girl.  We meet as a large group a few times a year and several other informal meetings take place in smaller groups.  Our conversations include many helpful tips about studying and school life in general.  The Grade 12s are excellent role models for the younger students and they provide lots of encouragement and reassurance.
