Peer Mediation Training
This week our Primary 6s went through Peer Mediation training with Amanda and Sarah from Scottish Mediation. They went through a range of activities exploring what mediation means and the processes that are involved in peer mediation.
Sarah and Amanda said:
”We had such a great time with the group of pupils, who were really focused on the task and a pleasure to work with … you will have a great team of magic mediators. Both Amanda and I would like to thank yourself and your staff for helping us and making us fell very welcome over the two days. Your school is a delight to work with.”
Some of P6 children will be Magical Mediators in the playground next session as part of our Responsible Roles programme.
Congratulations to Primary 6!
