Buddy Program at OLA

At OLA we offer our Prep and Grade 6 students a program called ‘Buddies.’ It is one of the many ways OLA helps prep students settle into school, as well as promoting and developing leadership skills in our senior students. Buddies meet regularly throughout the year to complete fun activities together. These activities include literacy and technology activities, maths games and craft. The program has an extremely positive impact on both the Prep and Grade 6 students.

 Benefits of the buddy program include:

• Prep students having another positive role model within the school
• Prep students having someone to go to if they are worried/scared in the playground
• Prep and Grade 6 children developing new and positive relationships
• Grade 6 students taking on and developing responsibility
• Grade 6 students are learning how to be a positive role model for other students.
