Our in-school and online wellbeing programs equip teachers and students with skills needed to deal with challenge successfully and to reach their potential as learners and future leaders
Our in-school and online programs enable students to build awareness of their social, emotional and physical health and wellbeing. Therefore, equipping them with the skills to take an active role in shaping a positive and successful future.
Life Skills Group’s in-school and Life Skills Go online programs have been specifically developed for students in each year level from pre-school and primary, through to secondary school. Life Skills lessons and curriculum can be personalised to meet the needs of individual learners and class groups.
Our in-school programs are led by Life Skills trained teachers who teach social, emotional and physical lessons have been shown to increase student engagement, reduce disruptive classroom behaviour, and improve student learning outcomes.
“The program has resonated with students at the school and we are seeing teachers embedding strategies from the lessons and online learning platform into classroom routines. Areas we have seen improvement are: Anxiety, Anger Management, Relaxation and Stress Management, and Emotional Response.”
Students build awareness of their physical, social and emotional health and wellbeing. They are equipped with the skills to deal with the upcoming challenges of adolescence and adulthood. Eligible for 6 hours of NESA Elective PD.
Students learn and apply positive physical fitness skills through a range of visual and auditory stimuli and movement exercises. The program develops fundamental movement skills.
In a series of interactive, progressive lessons, students develop their self-awareness and increase impulse control, focus and empathy. Mindfulness in Action utilises scientifically proven mindfulness techniques, effective pedagogical practices, and cross-sectional research in cognitive-affective neuroscience to teach students to pay attention to their experiences in a non-reactive way.
Students develop tools to understand and manage their emotions and also their physical and social changes through various stages of life. The program also encourages students to be aware of the safety, health and wellbeing of both themselves and others.
“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.*
