Wellbies Keeping Kirkhill Safe, Happy and Healthy!

Our Pupil Groups Join Together!  We started this year as two groups – the Wellbies and the Buddies.  We soon realised that a lot of our aims were the same, or that we could help each other achieve our goals.  We joined our groups together to form one super-group!  We are called the Wellbies because we look after everyone’s wellbeing in school.

Our Members  Say hello to the Wellbies!  Why did we want to be part of the Wellbies or be a Buddy?

Why Do We Have The Wellbies  We make sure everyone knows how to keep themselves safe and healthy.  We keep Kirkhill up to date with their rights and responsibilities.  We promote Anti-bullying in Kirkhill – make everyone feel safe and know who they can talk to.  We act as role models for the pupils and teach them how to co-operate and work together.  We Buddy and make sure everyone is happy and has someone to play with in the playground.
