How The Best of Friends® program will be implemented at St Mary’s Catholic Primary School – Erskineville.

The first round of The Best of Friends® program will take place in 2021 and will be closely supported by our team of facilitators. Each participant receives a copy of the exclusive workbook developed by Quirky Kid, while facilitators and parents have access to an extensive range of information, manuals and regular supervision as required.

To ensure adequate evaluation, each individual child and group complete pre-and post- psychometric testing of their social and emotional skills to measure the outcome of the intervention. Evaluation and monitoring is an important component of The Best of Friends® program.

We look forward to working closely with Mary’s Catholic Primary School – Erskineville!
