Mates sit side-by-side

In a quiet tree-dappled corner of St Anthony’s Primary School in Noble Park, there’s a place for lonely kids to find friendships.

The ‘buddy bench’ has become a low-key success story in a matter of weeks, teacher Chris Lin says.

“It’s a special place to go for a child who wants to talk to someone or if they want someone to play with them.

“For the little kids especially, it can be harder for them to make friends.”

The bench made from recycled plastic bags was donated by Dingley Village Community Bank.
