Peer Mentoring Workshop


This Friday, 13 of our Junior Campus Ministry Students attended a two-day intense training workshop at the Franciscan Spirituality Center in Ringwood, New Jersey. In preparation to become the new Peer Mentors for the School Year 2009-2010, topics such as Communication Skills, Group Leadership Skills, Conflict Resolution Skills, the establishment of Boundaries, Trust, Peer Pressure, and Contemporary Teen Issues were addressed. Our Peer Mentors performed role plays, examined various personality types, and identified their gifts and talents. The name of our Peer Mentors, "the Family". is reflective of our students welcoming attitude toward all their new sisters. Welcome Sisters, Class of 2013, to Benedictine Academy!
