Mentor “Match Ups”

peer mentoring

This year we’re trialling something a little different in the hope of getting all students to have an equal say.  As we are such a big group with around 50 children present at each meeting, it can be intimidating for some students to speak their mind.  This year each SRC Executive will be mentoring  representatives from three different classes.  When issues need to be discussed, the students will break into their mentor groups to have a discussion and the Execs will report back to the group.  If representatives need clarification or information, they are encouraged to find their mentors and have them answer the questions.  It’s great to see the Executives taking on more responsibility and for all of our representatives to be involved in some cross-age peer teamwork.
