BUDDIES

LPCI'S OFFICAL SUPPORT & TRANSITION TEAM

WHO ARE THE BUDDIES?

Buddies is a transition program that assists Grade 9 students as they adjust to high school.

Each Grade 9 is assigned a Grade 11 or 12 "Buddy" that will be their mentor throughout their Grade 9 year.

Buddies run a variety of programming throughout the year, beginning with an orientation before school begins. They will make frequent classroom visits to check in with the grade 9s and ensure that they are doing well.

The Buddies will create a group chat with their 3 to 5 grade 9s, where they will update the group on upcoming events, as well as respond to general questions!

Buddies are ALWAYS here to help and can be found in their signature yellow shirts!

What is the House Program?

The House program is Lawrence Park's newly launched initiative that divides the school into four main houses:

Onca │ Pardus │ Leo │ Tigris

Each year, the new grade 9 class will be initiated into one of these houses and will be a member of this team for the next four years of high school.

The House program, while having its own events such as Colour Wars, is a method of engaging students in all kinds of programs. Students can earn points for their houses individually by participating in various events.

Bigger events will give students more points, while smaller events will give the team fewer.

All points are frequently updated on the

House Point Scoreboard.

What is H2H?

Headstart to Highschool is an event that takes place a week before school begins.

Designed for the incoming Grade 9's, it offers them an opportunity to meet fellow...

Classmates
Buddies
Teachers

And get to know their way around the school.

The Buddies run games outside, such as "Squirt" and "Where the Westwind Blows", and games inside such as "Charades" as well as "Blooket".

The Grade 9's are taken on a tour of the school, hitting important places such as the library, cafeteria, gym, washrooms, but also some of their classrooms for the semester.

H2H is a great way for grade 9's to ease their way into Lawrence Park.
