BLAKEBROOK SCHOOL 2013
Mindfulness in North Coast NSW Primary Schools: Blakebrook, NSW
“I’m very enthusiastic about the program and the results I can already see with the children”, Louise said. “’Mindfulness’ is now in the vocabulary of the whole school….the teachers, support and admin staff as well as the students. The 5-6 class have really taken to the breathing practice, and love the conversation that follows – about what’s going on inside them. ”You can ask a child if they are being mindful of how they are interacting with another child, and you can see them pause and reflect on what they’re doing. As they start to accept their own minds, they’re becoming more empathic. They’re more aware of when other people are having a bad day.”

BOBBI & SHAKTI
Children's wellbeing is all in the mind
Northern Rivers Echo, Feb 2012
Mindfulness teachers Bobbi Allan and Shakti Burke believe you're never too young to start learning about your brain and exercising your mind. Children are encouraged to give all their other organs a workout, so why not the brain?

A NORTHERN RIVERS HIGH SCHOOL
Outlook on life all in the mind
Northern Rivers Echo, Oct. 2011
As the students from a Year 7 class at Richmond River High School tell me how mindfulness techniques they are learning at school have spilled over into their home lives, teacher Paul Hurley sits watching them, amazed.
"Last year I got really anxious and stressed but mindfulness really helped me calm down," one student tells me. "I used to be bullied quite badly too... but I practised mindfulness on holidays and when I came back I just starting smiling and walking past them. The breathing helps me if I'm freaking out."
