The School Councils and Peer Mentors At Hallfield Junior’s the School Councillors and Peer Mentors join together to become the `organisers`. School Councillors stick together to make the school an enjoyable place, but the Peer Mentors make play times a most peaceful place. At Hallfield, as time passes it gets better and better. Peer mentors have the responsibility of the playground. The peer mentors care for others and like their job very much, they volunteer to help people even in the infants. There are 8-9 of them working very hard every day. Looking after the equipment and making sure the school is safe is very important to them. Our deputy head teacher, Mr Mannix ordered new equipment and organized a new rota which the peer mentors help to maintain. Football and basketball are the only ball games allowed in the juniors, children have to follow the rota and stick to it perfectly. Skipping, Hoops, Croquet, Instruments and many more fun games are split across the playground for the Peer Mentors to handle. Do you have Peer Mentors that do that? Both School Councillors and Peer Mentors have to help make sure other children stick to the rota and understand it. While children are playing they also make sure the equipment doesn’t get damaged by supervising children during lunchtimes. School councillors raise a lot of money for the school by opening cake and jumble sales in school. They have recently raised over £100 for Comic Relief. They give feed back to their classes after half an hour meetings on Thursdays. They also are visiting the houses of Parliament this summer. Do you have school councillors in your school? Together both organisers help lunchtime assistants with less work for them because of the lovely peer mentors who look after children. School councillors raise money to improve the school. Peer mentors and school councillors are helping the school to be a happier place for learning. |
