Healthy Friendship Week is part of the Joy of Love, and consists of activities that aim to provide fun opportunities for children aged between 5 and 12 years of age, to learn more about the importance of having positive friendships.
In the context of our Catholic teaching, and through enjoyment and shared experiences, children will develop further knowledge, skills and strategies for making and maintaining strong, healthy friendships.
How will Healthy Friendship Week be implemented?
Early Term 1, 2026, the Healthy Friendship Week site will be shared with Family Educators and RECs, and the range of activities for Early Stage 1 - Stage 3 will be easily accessible.
Activities can be done in class time, through homework grids, at lunchtimes or as a whole school afternoon focus, with a Family Mass etc. It’s flexible to suit the school timetable and calendar.
More information will be provided to schools by their REC and Family Educator closer to the date of the event.
