“Our students are able to use the strategies and methods taught in the lessons of mindfulness, breathing, relaxation, self control; particularly when in stressful playground situations, anxiety management, values and movement in different contexts. We use Life Skills every day after lunch, and it has enormous benefit and enables our students to refocus attention and recenter themselves. They have told me that they sometimes use these strategies to help them fall asleep at night and often cope with annoying siblings.”

Our Impact
“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.*
“Practical and interactive skills that will build positive relationships between school and community. A positive mindset with resilience encouraged.”

The Life Skills Group had an outstanding impact on the children in my class. They are less fidgety and distracted, and much more focused and responsive. I loved they’ve been given the opportunity to put together a sequence of yoga poses at the end of the program-assessment as learning!*
