Buddy Program
Buddy partnerships allow children to experience a connection with other children from different year levels. Buddy partnerships support students in experiencing a welcome from the very beginning, particularly during times of transition.
​
The benefits of a Buddy program are twofold; the older children learn to take on responsibility, while the younger children know that they have a fellow student they can confidently turn to for support.
The Buddy program helps to promote relationships and support between older and younger students through regular collaboration between their classes. This fosters a sense of whole-school community and creates friendships that enable both older and younger ‘Buddy’ to bond more closely with their school. This increases the likelihood of more positive school behaviour for all students.
Each year, our new Prep children are buddied with a child in Year 5. This allows the buddies to develop their relationship over a two year period as Year 1 & Year 6 students.
All new students to the school in Years 1-6 will be buddied with a classmate by the class teacher to support their transition.
Uniform
Uniforms can be ordered through Primary School Wear (PSW) using their online ordering facility (www.psw.com.au) or by visiting their store in Port Melbourne.

The shop is located at :
1/128 Bertie Street, PORT MELBOURNE, 3207
Ph: 9768 0385
Price lists and order forms are also available at the school office. The school also has a good supply of second hand uniforms which can be purchased for a gold coin donation.
All students must be neatly dressed at all times.
