Mindfulness in schools

SkillfulMIND works with schools around the world to put manageable, effective mindfulness programs in place for their students. The program can be rolled out in a single classroom or right across the whole school.

Research shows mindfulness is a skill that builds the foundations for student concentration and attention — and good mental health in childhood sets young people up for the future. Internationally recognised with a local presence, SkillfulMIND combines an online resource for teachers with on-the-ground support from a local meditation teacher.

What schools & teachers say

“Peter’s proposal supports this necessary life skill by ensuring the practices we use daily in the Zone are offered in our classrooms… ensuring staff are supported to use mindfulness in their day is another wellbeing tool not to be overlooked. Thank you for considering this proposal.”

— Kelly Care, Intervention & Support Teacher

“I have seen a difference in the children in my classes. The kids received all the meditations really well — they especially enjoyed the mindful eating and mindful walking, and talked a lot about it.”

— Sarah Slee, Classroom Teacher
