Buddy System
​

​Students in Prep and Grade 5 participate in a buddy system where the children from older grade levels are paired for the year with a younger ‘buddy’.

​This is to assist younger children in different activities in the classroom and in the yard. The buddy system is initiated as part of the kinder to Prep transition program so that the child has a point of contact upon arrival in the new school year.
