Peer Mentors and Buds

The Peer Mentors and Buds Mission

• To be a role model around the school
• To help people who are sad
• To make the playground a smilier place
• To be impartial when pupils fall out
• To help sort out problems
• To help prevent bullying

The type of help we offer is:

• Hurt children - take to first aid
• Serious incidents - take to  teacher
• Friendship fall-outs - help the children deal and don’t take sides
• Practical help e.g. push a wheelchair, keep injured people company, teach little children how to play.
• Help each other help others too!
