Buddy Program
St. Anne’s has a buddy program for Foundation children. The teachers will partner your child with an older student (Year 6). This is to help your child have a welcoming experience from the very beginning.
The buddy system also helps older children learn to take on responsibility. The younger children know that they have a fellow student they can go to for help. Buddy systems help your child make friends and create a sense of belonging within the school community.
