Helping hands

CONFLICTS NEED TO BE RESOLVED

Supervision on the schoolyard

Every break, our ‘Helping Hands’ are out and about in the school building and in the school playground, lending a hand with day-to-day school life.

Our ‘Helping Hand’ training programme

The ‘Helping Hand’ training programme is run in partnership with the Biesalski School. The aim of the programme is to give our pupils the opportunity to take on responsibility, play an active part in shaping community life at our school, and develop their social skills.

Among other things, the children learn,

to mediate in conflicts and encourage fair behaviour,
to treat minor injuries and look after the children involved,
to ensure peace and order during the breaks,
as well as helping out at school events and when accompanying younger children.

The training course lasts five school days, from 08:00 to 11:30 each day, and includes various theoretical and practical exercises, as well as role-plays and group discussions.

Once their training is complete, the ‘Helping Hands’ take on regular duties during the school day and at break times. At the same time, and quite naturally, the pupils from both schools get to know each other better.

As ‘Helping Hands’, the pupils not only take on the duties of the former conflict mediators, but now also offer additional support in everyday school life.
