Buddy Day

'It  takes a community to look after a child.'

Children can’t prevent child abuse – but adults can.
And what better way to start conversations about the wellbeing of kids, than to send thousands of life size cardboard 'children' into the community for a day with business people, politicians, Iwi and members of the public!

At Normandale School we have been busy creating buddies who will take part in Buddy Day on 15 November. In our Whanau groups, the children created profiles for their buddy and then  dressed them. They were all very creative and unique. 

We are now waiting excitedly to find out who the adult buddy is who will 'adopt' our buddy for the day.
