Peer Mediator Program

In 2019, Eastwood Primary School began implementing a Peer Mediator program.  Students volunteer and apply to be a mediator.  Students are taken offsite to be trained in their new leadership role as a peer mediator.  The training involves: going through many scenarios; discussing how to be an active listener; learning how to be assertive; learning the qualities of a good problem solver; understanding the skills of how to show empathy towards others; brainstorming solutions; negotiating; understanding of when to escalate a problem to teachers and how to follow the ‘6 steps’ to mediate a problem.  Students have previously shown a great maturity towards their responsibilities as a peer mediator.
