As Pillar 3 now comes to an end we look back across the topic of friendship and what the House has been focusing on over the past 5 weeks. We have explored the topics of peer pressure and personal experiences of this. We have looked at the impacts of toxic friendships and how to avoid them, and also the differences between encouraging and pressuring. This has been a fantastic pillar that the boys have all shown great maturity while taking part. We all hope as a House the boys can learn from this and take these experiences on with them, as they move forward in CDL and there young lives.

As part of a combined individual project and a House project, each of the guys were asked to take a photo with their friends, and then describe their friends in 3 words on the back of the photo. It was nice to see the common theme of trustworthy and loyalty coming up. The boys also made a Friendship chain with what a friend meant to them written on the rings. The boys did a fantastic job with both of these projects and it is displayed proudly in the House.
