We are still tackling Anti Bullying in Schools to protect young minds.

Our Rotary Club is very excited to be installing another 8 Buddy Seats in the near future with funds made available from the Rockhampton Regional Council’s Councillor Discretionary Fund.

Our Buddy Seats have proven to be a great asset to local primary schools, with very positive feedback from teachers, principals and parents. 

Buddy Seats pprovides an ideal solution to bullying in schools with the aussie buddy bench seating in Aluminium. Buddy Bench seats are long lasting and easy to maintain.

Over the last two years we have been providing buddy seats to schools across the Rockhampton for the benefit of children and the school communities.

Primary Schools and High Schools have celebrated the installation of the Buddy  seats with their great design and a positive welcome addition to the school playground.

Whole schools have embraced the buddy seating system as it provides fantastic positive reinforcement of the anti bullying messages to children in schools and the community in general.

An important aspect of anti bullying is the introduction of the physical presence of the buddy seat to provide a real and tangible solution for children in school and to reassure parents that their kids will find a solution to any anti social behaviour in the schoolyard. Moreover, this anti bullying message in the school community is reflected in the broader community with the buddy bench seats programs and especially with the Rockhampton Regional Council.

Teachers have discussed the purpose of the Buddy Bench Australia Seat with students to develop a total understanding that it is a place students can sit when they don’t have anyone to play with.The Buddy seat has played an important role in students feeling of belonging and being connected in their school environment.

We Thank the Rockhampton Regional Council for their confidence in this club project.

Our original seats were made from timber, but all future ones will be made from aluminium.
