Better Buddies

The Better Buddies Framework was founded by the Alannah and Madeline Foundation. At Holy Family, the Prep students are given one or two Grade 5 buddies. Through Better Buddies, children in their first and second last year of primary school buddy up and learn the values: caring for others, friendliness, respect, valuing difference, including others and responsibility. Better Buddies enables younger children to feel safe and cared for while older children feel valued and respected.

This term the students will become familiar with one another, building their friendship and trust with each other. We will be meeting with our buddies every fortnight this term.
