| Kindergarten Children visit the Gully |
ArtsSmarts News Kindergarten students at Holy Trinity Elementary are always ready for an adventure. On Friday, along with artist Isabella St. John and environmental educator Rebecca Smyth, we walked to the Torbay Gully where we observed and drew plant life. Morning showers didn’t stop this group of budding artists from creating their artwork en plein air. Kindergarten, Grade Three and Four students will be involved with ArtsSmarts this year. Visual artist Margaret Walsh Best has begun watercolour activities with the Grade Threes who are discovering the many wildflowers in the local Gully wetland. Visual Artist Marlene Creates and the Grade Fours were pleased to have wonderful weather for their first excursions to the Gully last week. A Special Place and it’s Weather, is the title of their multidisciplinary project. Students will observe the changes in the native vegetation through autumn, winter and spring. ArtsSmarts is a national program designed to promote the active engagement of young people in the arts through school based art projects. ArtsSmarts seeks to integrate art throughout the standard school curriculum, to develop intellectual and communication skills in children through active participation in the arts, and to enhance appreciation for culture and art within children. We are grateful for the support of the Torbay Environment and Trails Committee and the Town of Torbay who have hired environment educator Rebecca Smyth to provide our students with interpretive tours of the Gully plant life. Student artwork from the projects will be on display at our annual art exhibition in May.

| Peer Mediation |
For two days in November a group of 20 Grade six students were involved in a training program that will qualify them as Peer Mediators. This training will provide them with the skills needed to volunteer as Peer Mediators as we launch a school wide Peer Mediation program. Peer Mediation is a confidential process for resolving conflicts. Students have the opportunity to talk through their conflicts with the help of trained student mediators. Peer Mediators listen to each person and guide the participants to develop a win – win solution to the conflict. The process allows students to take an active role in resolving conflicts and determining solutions by initiating face-to-face conversations between students. Trained Peer Mediators will assume volunteer roles within the school and use their skills to help resolve conflicts when and where they are happening.

 The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think—rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men.
