Peer mediation
The peer mediation program is an effective strategy that is part of our anti-bullying policy and is available to all students. Students who have a problem or conflict with another student can request mediation. The best person to see is the year adviser who will refer the matter to the peer mediation coordinator. Mediation is voluntary and confidential.

The mediators have been specifically trained and work with the students in the mediation session to find solutions. When a resolution is reached the students create a written agreement. The aim of the written agreement is to give closure to the matter.

Students who attend peer mediation report that they feel more confident about settling their own disputes. Mediation at Barrenjoey has a very high success rate and has solved conflicts that may have started as far back as primary school.
