Friendology Friend O Leader
This Term the Grade 5/6's have had visitors Sarah, Edwina, Mekayla and Marcus from Maroondah Council running the Friendology Friend O Leader training with the students.
The students have engaged in activities and conversations about what they know about Friendology and how they have used Friendology in the yard. It was great to hear students understanding Friendology and talking about ways they have helped other students at school using these skills. The students were also asked to think about what they would like to see our Friend O Leader's wear in the yard to help identify them and shared their creative ideas.
We have also been working with our current Friend O Leaders and discussed their experience and have asked for their support designing an item for the newest Friend O Leaders to wear next year.
We have also received some new posters which will be put up around the school.
Over the next few weeks we are hoping to find out who our next Friend O Leader's for 2023 will be.
Warm regards
