From September 2013 we will be introducing a Buddy system at El Alsson. If you will be in Yr 8 or 9 next year and are interested in becoming a Buddy after reading the attachment, please email Miss Julie (jclarke@alsson.com). There will only be space for 42 Buddies so please contact me as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Miss Julie

El Alsson Buddy System
