The TY Buddy programme is an integral link in the school support systems we operate in Calasanctius College. It is also another example of the many student leadership opportunities on offer within our school. Each year our new 1st Yr students are assigned a TY Buddy to mentor, support and guide them through their first year in post primary school. The aim is to help support the transition from primary school. Buddys meet their assigned students on a regular basis throughout the year; both formally and informally. They offer a friendly face on the busy corridors and are a role model for our Junior students to aspire to. We would like to congratulate this year's Buddy team who received their wristbands today and wish them well in their year's work. We would also like to acknowledge the ongoing work of Ms Gilsenan in guiding this group of students and faciltating this very worthwhile programme within our school.
