There are 14 Year 6 children who are peer counsellors. They wear special hats and badges so they can be easily identified in the playground and dinner hall. It is their job to prevent any serious problems occuring in the playground.



playground friendsPlayground Friends

There are 12 playground friends from Year 5 who befriend children who need them such as new arrivals and children who find it difficult to make friends. They wear yellow hats and have been trained to set up games and activities to keep the children occupied.

Monitors

There are several different types of monitor in the school. For example, the stair monitors who ensure children use the correct stairs and do so quietly and safely. There are also playhouse monitors who supervise years 1 and 2 during breaktimes. The playhouse is a special place where the children can go and play with toys that they probably don't have at home. They can also listen to stories and watch films.
