Peer Support<br />
On Thursday, 24 th May, Stage 3 spent the day<br />
learning about quality leadership skills. Stage 3 were<br />
granted the permission to wear mufti to school.<br />
In the morning, we all filed into the hall and talked<br />
about why <strong>Padstow</strong> <strong>North</strong> is doing Peer Support and<br />
listed some reasons. We then discussed how to deal<br />
with the students in the group, and how to deal with<br />
behavioural issues. Once we had completed the<br />
theory part of the day, we had lunch. The school<br />
provided us with delicious sausages.<br />
Once we had finished lunch, we were ushered into<br />
the hall to start our next activity. We continued<br />
some of the behaviour part and started on the next<br />
activity. We, in groups of 3, had to sort out an<br />
argument between two students (Jack and Jill).<br />
After a few groups performed their solution, we<br />
received our Peer Support folders and discovered<br />
our groups.<br />
Once we did that, we formed groups of 5-6 to try<br />
out some of the games. Recess was next, and we<br />
then decorated our folders and badges in the<br />
classroom. Stage 3 hopes that all students in<br />
<strong>Padstow</strong> <strong>North</strong> will enjoy this Peer Support<br />
experience! �<br />
