Peer Mediation Series

They are often very perceptive to troubles of their peers and what is going on around them and they are very capable of handling those situations – often better than adults are. All they need is some training in that particular area – they are very helpful to each other and to the   administration.” Ros White St Paul’s School (Bald Hills Brisbane)
