A buddy system ,can pair a quiet student to a more active student, let them learn to mingle with their friends

Teachers to "coach" the active kids on how to interact with the more reserved kids, explain to the buddy on the condition and teach the buddy how to manage their own emotions too(when they encounter difficulties when dealing with the more reserved kids).
Can consider to pair different buddies(change termly) to prevent buddy fatigue.

Sustaining Buddy system ( ie p1-p5) : not just in the first two weeks of p1 school

Need to be intentional when assigning buddies ( networking of buddies, consider ever changing dynamics of relationships)

Recess activities with buddies ( activities could be planned and conducted by PSLs)

CCA is a powerful resource to provide opportunity for peer support. However most students in need of support may not be in CCA.

Buddy system
1. Seeking Permission:
- Check in with students before assigning them as buddies for one another

2. Assessing Compatibilities (Emotional):
- Find out about their past relationships with one another (e.g. known each other since kindergarten, both are attending the same student care, both are close friends or comfortable with each other)

- Provide opportunities for buddies to know about each other (e.g. personalities, family background, interests)

3. Assessing Compatibilities (Academic):
- Choosing the right buddy (e.g. possess positive qualities that bring out the strengths in each other)

4. Awareness Of Duties:
- Buddy takes note of what the other student needs to be done (e.g. homework, occurrences in class) and helps to inform the classroom teachers

5. Training Provided To Buddies:
- What are the strategies that the buddies can use to help each other?
- What are the visible cues to take note of to know that the buddy needs help?

5. Increase opportiunities to share care and concern - like a friendship letter box
