Wellbeing

BBPS has had a long standing partnership with The Resilience Project. The focus of Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness underpins our social and emotional learning programmes within each classroom.

Thank you for paying student school fees, your contributions allow us to access the following:

• Student Resilience Journals - Students engage in weekly activities utilising this resource

   

• A recently revamped TRP curriculum which provides teachers with resources and student videos to support classroom lessons. This year students will be seeing Martin Heppel in action. Here is an introduction if you are yet to have the pleasure, here Martin talks about daily reflection journals – a similar concept to our Student Resilience Journals, for older students and adults.

Co-founder of TRP, Hugh van Cuylenburg (and the podcast The Imperfects) shared this with community recently:

Let's together, as a community, show understanding and commitment to inclusion; suspend judgement of others and remember that all children are still learning (especially our own) and all parents are doing their best (you included).

And to all our parents of neurodivergent people and to the neurodivergent little people we are connected to each day in our classrooms, we see you and support you.
