Better Buddies is an initiative of The Alannah and Madeline Foundation designed to create friendly and caring school communities where bullying is reduced.

Once accepted as a Better Buddies school there is no need to reapply for subsequent years.  Your school is automatically included as a Better Buddies school into the future and you will continue to receive support and assistance from the Better Buddies Team as well as access to new resources as they become available.

For Better Buddies Schools:

Richmond Football Club - Better Buddies Games

Richmond Football Club has enlisted the help of Tigers players, Shaun Grigg and Nathan Foley, to help schools participate in Better Buddies Games. Watch the video of Shaun and Nathan demonstrate some simple games buddies can play together. Buddies can watch the players show how it's done and then have a go themselves.
