The sense of belonging and connectedness at St Mary’s fosters strong relationships between the different classes. The Kindergarten/Year 6 Buddy System enhances this.
The Kindergarten and Year 6 buddies ensure a smooth transition from pre-school to Kindergarten. The Year Six children build a strong rapport with their younger buddies, and they are teamed to share morning tea, read together, and participate in craft and fun activities at various times throughout the year.
