Our Student Leaders understand the level of responsibility associated with their position. When they accept the role, they enter into a contract accepting that responsibility:
- I acknowledge and accept the honour and responsibility of being a leader at Kunyung Primary School.
- I understand that I will be considered as a role model for all students. I will aim to be responsible, helpful, well-mannered and a good sport. I will proudly wear my school uniform and arrive promptly for classes.
- I will demonstrate leadership by my positive attitude to learning and participation in a range of school activities. I will set a good example and encourage other children to join in, try their best and praise others for their efforts.
- I will at all times help to make sure that our school is represented well within the community and actively carry out the School Pledge:
I am standing with people I care for and respect. I will do my personal best in all things because I am proud to be Australian and proud to be at Kunyung Primary School.
Signed...........
Each child is encouraged to take pride in his/her role as a Kunyung student and Australian citizen.
Every Friday morning at whole school assembly, our School Captains lead all students through the School Pledge.

Role of our Peer Mediators:
Our Peer Mediators are year 6 students who are specially trained to mediate for other students who have disputes in the playground. They help the children to communicate and reach agreement using a structured conflict resolution process and mediation techniques. All information is confidential.
Students are taught skills such as listening, critical thinking and problem-solving, which can be brought to bear in solving their own conflicts as well as the problems of their peers.
The underlying principles of Peer Mediation:
- Participation is voluntary.
- Confidentiality is preserved.
- Mediators are not concerned with right and wrong.
- The emphasis is on negotiation.
- Individual outcomes are sought.
- Feelings are as important as facts.
- Agreements are not enforceable.
- Empowering parties to find their own solutions.
Peer Mediators:
- Are the peacemakers of the school.
- Listen to and respect all points of view.
- Understand their own conflicts and how to handle them.
- Know how to help other students resolve their conflicts.
