Our Impact
“My understanding of the intentions of the professional development course was to instill an awareness of the importance of mental, social and physical wellbeing of teaching staff. How our physical and mental health correlates to teaching performance and the flow on to student learning. We were given some practical advice and strategies that could be implemented in an effort to optimize the outcomes for all key stakeholders involved in contributing to student learning..”
“The session reminded me of the importance of teacher wellbeing and how we need to manage our emotions (always in the classroom) so we’ll deal more effectively with students.”
“Practical and interactive skills that will build positive relationships between school and community. A positive mindset with resilience encouraged.”
“A welcomed reminder of the importance of both in maintaining positive health and well being of school staff, students and the community. Built on my own personal experiences practicing yoga and meditation and also tapped into a previous incursion held at our school in 2016, Breathe Project – teaching students and teachers the technique of deep breathing.”
I have gained a more thorough understanding of what mindfulness is about and that it will benefit our school and students.*
