Peer Meditation has joined Theme Week at Mulberry this year. This project is led by staff training students from Years 8 to 10.
Peer Mediation is a way for people to sort out conflict. When you have an argument or fall out with someone there are lots of people who can help you sort it out, for example a teacher, mum or dad, brother, sister or friends. Sometimes people can sort out arguments by themselves, but it can be good to have someone else there to help you. This is where peer mediators come round to lend a hand.
The Mulberry mediators said the reason that they chose to do this project is because they wanted to get involved in worthwhile activities and do extra curriculum things involving helping others sort out their problems. Tasnim from 8U said, “It sounds like a great way for people to work together and by doing this, maybe in the future I can solve issues that I am faced with.” Teachers leading the project said these girls can do a lot for their future by doing this project. Skills they will gain are:
- Being a good listener
- Being patient with others
- Being a good co-operator
- Being able to keep things private
- Being understand others feelings and last of care for others
We asked a student how well it has gone so far and she replied by saying, “It has been fine moving around meeting new people and I am looking forward for going to the trips because hopefully we will learn more.”
