Buddy System

A lot of new students appreciated it very much to have a “buddy”, especially at the beginning of the school year. Most of the buddy work took place in the first few weeks of the buddy project, after that the contacts where less frequent, but still going on. The newcomers are happy to get some useful tips for the daily school life. But also having a friendly person in new surroundings was the best benefit for some students. Some asked their buddies for technical advice (especially for the subjects which are new to the students).

The majority of the buddies think that the Buddy System helps new students a lot in getting familiar with daily life in a new school with new subjects, new teachers, and new important issues. In some cases a buddy got informed about problems like bullying etc.
