We would like to say congratulations to our new Peer Medation Team for 2012. Well done to:
- Kate, Holly, Caleb
- Frank, Eleanor, Zoe
- Finn, Brenda, Nicole
- Cleo, Anna, Ethan
- Cameron, Sophie T, Abbie
- Emma, Jade, Jakub
- Sophie H, Victoria, Bronagh
- James, Elliot, Anna-Jane
- Callum, Eimear, Clodagh
These Peer Mediators will be able to help children throughout the school to sort out their own problems through mediation session. Every child in Primary 7 is trained in peer mediation through a seven week program, so that they all understand the concepts of conflict resolution.
Peer Mediation is taught to:
- Help children handle conflict.
- Help children to take more responsibility for their behaviour.
- Provide children with training to recognise the causes of conflict.
The Peer Mediators are selected through a process of application and interview. It takes commitment and patience to be a mediator. We wish them well in the coming year.
