Senior students have given their buddies lessons in the computer room, made art and craft, assisted them in fitness activities, completed the Premier’s Reading Challenge together, prepared themselves for Musica Viva visits and created pieces of writing together. Classes have also joined together for special events.
The program aims to support and assist the young students in their first few years of school by providing them with a special friend who will look after them. The program is extremely valuable to both the junior and senior students and allows the K-2 children to have some familiar faces when they arrive on the 3-6 site.
