Wellbeing

From Shaun, Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader

Hi Families,

We are excited to share the addition of a Buddy Bench at NMPS, located at our Molesworth Street campus near the orange gates. The Buddy Bench is a welcoming space designed to support students in building friendships and fostering inclusivity during play times.

Students are encouraged to use the bench if they are feeling unsure about joining a game or are looking for someone to play with. It serves as a visual signal to others that a peer would enjoy company, promoting kindness, empathy, and social connection across all year levels.

We hope this initiative will help create a more inclusive and supportive playground environment, encouraging students to reach out, connect, and support one another.
