Peer Mentor Programs
Formal peer mentoring opportunities exist for selected Year 10 students to assist Year 7 students to successfully transition into Secondary School.
Selected Year 6 students also offer mentoring at P-2 student events, such as Under Eights Day, and the Enrichment@Bentley program.
Student Leadership Program
The Student Leadership Program begins in Year 6 and continues through to Year 12. Leadership positions include Primary, Junior Secondary and College Captains and a range of other leadership roles.
Community and Cultural Events
Students develop leadership skills through active participation in community events, cultural ceremonies and peer mentoring. Citizenship and leadership at Bentley Park College fosters identity development, inclusion and resilience.
Student leaders host parades and ceremonies including community and cultural events such as Anzac Day, the National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence, NAIDOC celebrations and Harmony Day activities.
Students also have the opportunity to become involved in a range of camps and excursions throughout the year to enhance their learning and personal development.
International Study Tours and Visits
Bentley Park College has hosted many Japanese school study tours and visits, with students of similar ages volunteering to be a ‘Bentley Buddy’ for a Japanese student for their time at school to welcome them and assist them to learn English. Students develop leadership skills and expand their world-view by fostering friendships with students from another country.
