Grade 5 & Preps Buddies Program

The Buddies program at Tecoma Primary pairs a Grade 5 student with a Prep student. Every Thursday afternoon, during the school’s leadership time the buddies get together for activities. These are sometimes focussed on our school values and our BounceBack program. Other times they are related to our Inquiry topics which sees them exploring a range of areas from transport to space exploration. The Grade 5 buddies love helping their Prep buddies to feel safe at school and really enjoy sharing their enthusiasm for learning. These friendships carry over when the Preps progress to Grade 1 and the Grade 5’s to Grade 6. Past students have also commented about being welcomed by their buddies on their first day of high school, they really are special friendships.
