Mindfulness : SMILING MIND CURRICULUM
We’re excited to announce that we’ll soon be implementing the Smiling Mind Primary School Program as a school-wide approach this year. The Smiling Mind Curriculum is an evidence-based program designed to support your child’s social and emotional development. We’ll be kicking off soon, with students completing a new lesson topic each fortnight, with lessons including fun activities, discussions, and occasionally, some take home worksheets to complete with families. The topics cover decision-making, managing emotions, building positive connections, resilience and much more.
The Smiling Mind Primary School Curriculum acknowledges the need to not only develop physical health and fitness, but also MENTAL FITNESS! With 1 in 4 children experiencing a mental health condition and almost 50% of people dealing with a mental health disorder across their lifetime, the need to keep a healthy mind is vital at all ages. Here's how Smiling Mind Curriculum helps to build mental fitness.
As you'll see from the QR Code above, Smiling Mind also offers loads of FREE RESOURCES FOR FAMILIES to explore together! From guided meditations to tools for fostering resilience, these resources are perfect for supporting wellbeing at home.
