Peer Support Leaders play a key role, alongside Junior Deans and members of the Students’ Club Committee, in working alongside staff to set the tenor of the Fresher cohort. Each Fresher is allocated a Peer Support Leader (PSL) who is a Senior in their third year or above of their degree. PSLs assist Freshers in ensuring they’re able to settle in quickly and step into the swing of life at St Paul’s.

Peer Support Leaders maintain a consistent, active presence throughout College life, attending College events and modelling for Freshers how to live out life as a Pauline. PSLs are rich resources of support and information for our student body, readily available to answer student questions and to assist individuals in embracing community life. Whether it’s an informal catch-up in the Hall, checking in on new students in their room to say hello, meeting at Ralph’s for a coffee, or sending out group invitations for connection across the Freshers who make up a Peer Support Group, PSLs actively encourage student engagement.
