Wellbeing and Safety

At BBPS we are a part of The Resilience Project. The Resilience Project is committed to teaching positive mental health strategies to prevent mental ill-health and build young people’s capacity to deal with adversity. As a school, we work in partnership with the Resilience Project and have a whole school focus on Empathy, Gratitude and Mindfulness.

Mindfulness

Working on mindfulness gives us opportunities to develop our ability to pay attention to the present moment and our thoughts. Practising mindfulness daily can help us stay focused on set tasks and reduce stress and anxiety.

Whole Family Activity:

Mindful Walk

• As a family, go on a walk outside in nature. This might be around your local walking track, at your local park or just around your streets.
• While walking, tune into your senses and observe what you can see, hear and feel. Or you might choose to focus on one of the senses. Eg: Hear: what are all the noises you can hear on your walk?
• On your way home or when you return home, share what each person saw, heard or felt.

Family Habit Builder:

Each night at dinner, ask everyone to take one mouthful of food more mindfully than the rest and think about the flavours they can taste and how it makes them feel. (They can also thank the chef!).

Parent session and resource 

TRP Session 1: Embracing the Chapter: In this presentation, Hugh shares his realisation of the importance of embracing the season (chapter) you are in at the present moment. This video only goes for 7 minutes and is well worth a watch! We will be sharing part 2 next week.
