URStrong

Creating a kinder world by empowering kids with friendship skills.

URStrong teaches children what’s normal in a friendship and the difference between healthy and unhealthy friendships. In short, we teach our students how to become Friendship Ninjas.

Friendship Ninjas know how to put out common Friendship Fires and how to use Quick Comebacks when someone is Mean-on-Purpose. Friendship Ninjas can get their friendships back into the green zone on the Friend-o-Meter by working their way through the Friend-o-Cycle. They know how to Talk-it-Out, but they also understand that friendships change…and that’s okay.

This week we trained a group of Year 5 students to be our Friend-o-Leaders. These amazing children will be in the yard to help children who are experiencing a friendship issue or just need help finding a friend:

5A - Chloe  F, Summer C, Chloe T, May H

5B – Vidit A, Lucian G

5C - Cadence V, Jasmine C, Jess M

We are very proud of our Friend-o-Leaders and the URStrong program as we believe that Friendology inspires children to feel empowered, develop a strong sense of self, and love themselves while learning to manage the most important thing to them…their friendships.
