Dorman’s Seven Needs of Adolescence

• Diversity
• Self-exploration and self-definition
• Meaningful participation in their schools and communities
• Positive social interaction with their peers and adults
• Physical activity
• Competence and achievement
• Structure and clear limits

Effectively meeting the needs of the emerging adolescent is the defining undertaking of our school and is reflected in our aims, procedures and documents.
