Peer Programs at Pender's Grove


Buddies program
Students participate in a fortnightly session working collaboratively with their buddy on a range of curriculum tasks and team building activities aiming to build relationships between our younger and older students.

Students are paired with a buddy within the following levels:
  • Foundation and Year 6 students
  • Year 1/2 and Year 4 students
  • Year 3 and Year 5 students

Grade 6 buddies meet their Foundation buddies at the end of the prior year (as Year 5 students) when their buddies are attending the Foundation transition program so that they have an established relationship when school begins the following year.
