On Friday we began our Peer Mediator training in the Senior Room. Peer Mediators will be assisting the staff in dealing with conflict in the school grounds. Their training will take 4 weeks and we hope to have the peer mediators up and running by week 4 of this term. All Senior Room students will be trained as a peer mediator, even if they might not necessarily be a peer mediator this year. Everyone in the Senior Room will be involved in our Peer Mediator Programme in some way, shape or form. This is a great leadership opportunity for our students.
During our training on Friday we discussed what conflict is and destructive and constructive ways of dealing with conflict. It was decided that we need to deal with conflict in a constructive way to have a positive outcome. This will help our peer mediators when they have to sort of conflict in the playground.
Below are some of the ideas that the students came up with for dealing with conflict constructively.
