Mindfull Aus Sessions

Building Emotional Strength and Empathy

During the week, our Year 7 & 8 and Year 9 & 10 students participated in an engaging and thought-provoking session delivered by Mindfull Aus. These sessions focused on empowering our young people with tools to navigate the emotional challenges of adolescence.

 

Session Themes Included:

  • Empowerment
  • Self-Belief
  • Regulating Big Emotions
  • Identifying and Labelling Emotions in the Body

     

Key Learning Outcomes:

  • Students explored practical strategies to identify and manage emotions in healthy and constructive ways.
  • They learned how to support peers experiencing strong emotions, replacing judgment or shame with empathy and understanding.
  • The sessions encouraged students to name and label emotions, helping them express feelings positively and regulate emotional responses effectively.

     

These workshops are an important part of our commitment to fostering Respect, Kindness and Confidence in our school community. We are proud to see our students engaging deeply with these concepts and building skills that will serve them well both inside and outside the classroom. I would also like to acknowledge AGL who facilitated and funded this program for our students, this partnership continues to assist the school to thrive in our community.
