At Somerville House we take a proactive approach to Positive Wellbeing. Vital to this are our positive connections within our community, developing empathy and embracing diversity.
The girls connect through a range of activities including painting, reading, drawing and dancing.
Sisters Connect facilitates meaningful relationships and helps to build communication and team skills while creating a strong sense of community. Big Sisters are encouraged to connect with their Little Sisters when they see them during breaks to develop an ongoing rapport and check on their wellbeing.

I have really enjoyed spending time with my Year 11 buddy. Sisters Connect has given us the opportunity to bond with girls we don’t get the opportunity to spend time with. I am always counting down the days until Sisters Connect and I am sure everyone would agree.

This program gave me the opportunity to spend time with a girl in a younger year level that I would not usually have the opportunity to connect with. Whenever I see her around the School we always make sure to wave to each other and say ‘hello’, and I can honestly say that these small interactions make my day so much better.
