We asked the students at Koo Wee Rup Primary School (P – Year 6) their thoughts:

We found out that a caring friend is someone who sticks up for you, does not say bad things about you and is warm and helpful.

What is a Caring Friend?

Friendly is when you look for a friend and they ask you if you need someone to play with. They are a friendly person!

In positive relationships, people ask you if you want to be friends.

Understanding your friends.

• Caring friends stand up for their friends and report others if they need to.
• Caring friends help each other. Being a caring friend takes a lot of dedication and love.
• Caring friendships are warm.
• Good friends have humour.

What a Caring Friend does:

• A caring friend supports, listens, comforts, makes you laugh, compliments and helps you out.
• Friends don’t post bad things about you.
• Friends are generous.
• Friends are playful.
• I helped my friend to the sick bay when he was hurt
• I make my friends laugh when they are sad
• Playing games with my friends
• Friends stand up for friends.
• Caring friends don’t ask for inappropriate pictures of you.

In our story of the gingerbread man, he had lots of friends who helped him.
