On Tuesday 29th March the Student representative Council (SRC) met with Kylie and Joseph from Bunnings to install our new buddy bench. Bunnings Blacktown were kind enough to donate the bench to our school. We are very excited to receive another bench later in the year for the grass area.
What is the Buddy Bench?
The Buddy bench is a permanent bench at school where children are encouraged to sit when they are feeling left out or bullied. If a classmate sees someone sitting on the bench they are urged to invite them to play, walk or talk with them.
Where did the idea come from?
The idea has come from Charlie, a nine year old boy from Cairns who implemented the buddy bench into his school after a family holiday to America.
