Friendology at HEPS 

During Term 1, our wonderful Level 5 students have been Friendship Ninjas for younger students in the yard. They have been teaching students how to recognise healthy and unhealthy friendships and how to solve friendship fires. This week they have been handing out Friendship badges to students who are using the language of Friendology in the playground. 

At last weeks assembly we had some of Level 5 Friendhip Ninjas Abigail, Jessica, William and Harry in their Friendology tshirts speak about how they have suported students with their friendships. In Term 2 some of these ninjas will be teaching and supporting Friendology lessons to our Level 1 students. What great role models they are for our younger students navigating tricky friendship issues. 

Don't forget that you can help your child with their friendships. UR Strong / Friendology offers many parent resources for at home and to help parents with friendship conversations.
