Recess is supposed to be fun. Right? Well at Heathcote we are having some problems! Kids are being mean to each other and excluding each other. For example, some people aren’t passing to each other in football and soccer plus, kids are pushing and shoving certain other kids. But don’t be discouraged, there is a solution. Heathcote has created a peer mediation
program.
Our school administrators are letting students in grades 4 and 5 choose to be a peer mediator. Heathcote`s peer mediators are people who help younger grades with problems and arguments throughout recess.
The peer mediators have a special dress code. Usually they will be wearing a yellow vest with the Heathcote circle of friends symbol on the front, so if you ever have a problem at recess just look for a people in yellow vest.
