Adopting an
effective approach to community-building has become crucial to develop positive
cross-age relationships while creating a caring ethos in the school. It’s a
unique way of bringing younger and older age groups together by pairing young students
with an older buddy. Every child thus gets an elder sibling at school, which enables
positive engagement and behaviour for all students.
The programme
promotes inclusive learning that increases the self-esteem and confidence of students
and helps reduce negative behaviours such as bullying. A majority of schools
cannot afford extra guards, even if they can, they usually do not have any idea
about the mindset of people being hired. This is where the buddy programme
comes into the picture. Teachers select the buddies, after knowing them for
quite a long time, and teach them the values of caring for others,
friendliness, trust, respect, to develop a sense of responsibility. Ruchika
Gupta and Simmi Ranjan will be in charge of ‘Buddy programme’ at Modern
International School.
Dr. Gaurav
Nigam, Director of Modern International School says, “We feel extremely
delighted to announce the launch of Buddy programme which facilitates a
positive environment for students at school campus. The idea behind this
endeavour is to create a safe ecosystem, where vigilance, care and protection is
not driven by school authorities but comes out of students on their own. The
programme trains children of different age groups to create strong, supportive relationships
with each other, as well as to learn the skills of collaboration for academic
and recreational activities, to be better buddies.”
