Buddy system

The concept of buddies is based on two class groups within our School joining together for special activities. The class groups are usually of two different age/stage groups.

Buddy times are scheduled during the year. Students are usually matched up in a 1:1 basis between the two buddy classes. During buddy class sessions, the older students act as peer tutors/friends. This provides the older students with the opportunity to develop their leadership skills as well as providing all students with the opportunity to develop many and varied relationships that will hopefully enhance students' social development, extend beyond the classroom and transfer to the playground.
