The most important responsibility of the student support system is to encourage friendship between students and a positive atmosphere in Voionmaa school. This includes among other things, bringing to light possible school harassment cases and for instance solving conflicts between the basic groups. Support students are 2nd and 3rd year students. Each support student is responsible for a group which he or she has become familiar with during possible primary school visits.
Regular meetings form the basis of the support student system in the school.
In these meetings anticipated problems and future happenings are discussed. More important than the meetings are the support student's role during the recess to keep an eye open on what is happening. This way it is possible to notice harassment that teachers are not aware of. The support student is expected to exercise the utmost discretion when handling other students' personal matters and information. In the future, the support students' aims are to focus more on preventing and solving harassment cases.
