Peer Group Coaching Sessions
Week 6 – Week 12, Online (no sessions during mid-session break)
Free group coaching sessions for all Undergraduate students studying any units in the Faculty of Science and Engineering. These sessions will be led by students, or Success Coaches. Any information you share in the sessions will remain anonymous from any staff.
Coaching sessions provide a positive space for students and success coaches to focus on solutions to study related concerns. Each week the Success Coaches will focus on a particular topic based on the discussions the week prior. The theme for the first week of sessions is staying on top of your wellbeing.
Even if you don't have any feedback or concerns, come along and meet some fellow students studying similar disciplines to you as it is a great way to make some friends in lockdown and feel less alone.
