Introducing Mindfulness Mornings at St Agnes’

This term at St Agnes’ we are introducing Mindfulness at the start of our day as it encourages a calm, orderly learning environment and promotes focus. Once the bell rings at 8.45am and students enter the classroom they are invited to join their teacher and classmates in a circle on the floor and participate in mindfulness for 5 minutes. 

By encouraging students to participate in Mindfulness at the start of the day we are hoping that it:

• calms the mind and body
• increases focus and attention
• increases ability to learn
• reduces reactive behaviours
• develops self-awareness
• lessens anxiety and stress
• develops self-management of emotions
• teaches life-long coping skill
