Foundation Buddy Program

At Belgrave South Primary School we run a Transition Program to make your child’s passage from pre-school to primary school a smooth one.

An important part of the Transition Program is the ‘Foundation Buddy’ program where Foundation students are paired with a Grade 5 buddy.

Foundation Students first meet their buddy as part of the Transition Program.  One of our transition sessions involves a treasure hunt with their buddy designed to build the relationship between the students and at the same time building familiarity with all parts of their new school.  

A weekly buddy program session will commence once students have started school for peer led developmental play activities in the classroom and playground.  The program continues throughout Grade 1.
