Peer Mediation

For the last two weeks, several Year 5 and 6 students have been training to be Peer Mediators. 

Fred, a professional in the industry has been teaching us skills to be a mediator. We have been developing our listening skills, assertiveness, brainstorming and empathy to navigate issues in our yard. Peer mediation is resolving and figuring out problems between students. This gives younger students someone they can come to for support. Peer mediators will then write up an agreement between the students that will help them to resolve the problem.

Over the two days of training, we have been using role-play to practise solving problems and have also reflected on our new learnings. 

Peer Mediators will be going around the school soon to help students solve minor problems in the yard. We will be wearing a vest and badge so we will be easy to be identified. If you have a problem that needs to be sorted out, you are always welcome to come to us!

We look forward to helping you all.
