We are pleased to announce the implementation of the Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) programme at Medina College. The MVP project is an exciting peer-led leadership and bystander programme. MVP trains students as mentors and equips them with the confidence, knowledge and skills to identify and speak out against bullying, abusive behaviour and violence. It aims to tackle the beliefs, attitudes and culture which can give the message that some violence is acceptable.
We share a vision for Medina College to be a place where all students can attend school free from violence and the fear of violence in all its forms. The MVP mission is to achieve ‘prevention through connection’. Our team of mentors are focused on driving the change required within our community to successfully tackle the acceptance and consequences of violence.
The Year 10 mentors successfully completed their training and, last week, delivered their first MVP session to the Year 7 cohort. The mentors did a fantastic job and the Year 7 tutor groups engaged well with the mentors and the lesson themes. The mentors will deliver further sessions across the year, passionately driving the MVP message to support the safe and healthy environment that enables our community to thrive. Well done mentors.
