Link Crew is a student-centered leadership and mentor program designed to promote inclusivity and create a smoother transition for students as they enter secondary school. Selected school staff are extensively trained to become Link Crew Coordinators, which certifies them to train senior students to become ‘Link Leaders’ in their school community. The process focuses heavily on team building/cooperative skill development, communication skills, supporting each other through situational scenarios, and participation in other confidence boosting activities. Link Leaders run Grade 9 orientation and provide academic and social support throughout the entire year, resulting in more positive experiences and greater academic success for all.
