Buddies

At Koo Wee Rup Primary School we assign each new Foundation student with a Grade 6 buddy. During the first few weeks of school, a Foundation student's Grade 6 buddy provides a familiar face in the playground and an additional person children can go to for support.
Grade 6 buddies often spend their first few playtimes of the year showing their Foundation buddy the different play spaces, support them in navigating their way around the playground and assist with building friendships.
Specific 'Buddies' sessions are timetabled into the week where teachers support Grade 6 buddies to host games, craft activities and to build a supportive friendship.
