ABOUT
ABOUT MINDFULNESS IN EDUCATION
Whole of School Mindfulness Programs The Mindfulness in Education team works with school principals and staff to design a program to meet the specific needs of staff, students and parents. Mindfulness in Schools programs are most effective when all staff are trained, enthusiastic, and consistent in including the mindfulness practices in classroom lessons. Building a culture of mindfulness has transformed class rooms and whole schools. To date we have run a year-long program with Dunoon Public School (2014), and a three-year program with The Pocket Public School (2016-18) In 2018 we delivered an Early Learning Mindfulness program at Possums Community Preschool at Condong NSW. |
