At Gladesville, Year 6 students are matched with a Foundation student as part of our buddies program. Buddies meet each other at a Teddy Bear's Picnic during our prep transition sessions.

​

Our Year 6 students support the new students with their transition to school. Each week during the year, the buddies get together for various fun activities.

 

This relationship is often the first one new Foundation students form, and the buddies program becomes an important transition into school. Furthermore, it fosters a sense of leadership and responsibility in our Year 6s.
