Buddy Bench
Promoting Kindness, Inclusion & Connection
The Buddy Bench is more than just a seat — it’s a simple and powerful tool that encourages prosocial behaviour like:
✔️ Inclusion
✔️ Empathy
✔️ Sharing
✔️ Compassion
It also helps children build important life skills such as:
Conflict Resolution – learning to identify problems and work together to find solutions.
When to Use the Buddy Bench
Students can sit on the Buddy Bench when:
-
They’re new to the school
-
They want to make new friends
-
Their friends aren’t at school today
-
They want to be a buddy to someone else
The Buddy Bench helps create a welcoming, inclusive school culture where no one feels left out — and every child has a chance to connect, play and be seen.
