FROM THE REC
St Mary’s Primary School is committed to providing a safe, secure and stimulating learning environment for all students. We understand that students reach their full potential only when they are happy, healthy and safe, and that a positive school culture helps to engage students and support them in their learning.
We are pleased to announce that we will begin working with The Resilience Project in Term 3.
The Resilience Project delivers emotionally engaging programs to schools, providing practical, evidence-based, positive mental health strategies to build resilience and happiness. Through presentations, school curriculum, student diaries and their app, they seek to help all Australians become mentally healthy.
The Resilience Project curriculum was designed by teachers for teachers and aligns with NSW and Australian Curriculum standards and framework in the areas of Personal and Social Capabilities and the Health and Physical Education.
The program is based on the philosophy that, in order to live a happier more fulfilling life, we need to regularly practise Gratitude, Empathy (kindness) and Mindfulness. Emotional literacy – having self-awareness and recognition of one's own feelings and knowing how to manage them – is also an integral part of the program.
The Resilience Project works with the whole school community including teachers, students and parents helping them understand the importance of practicing and implementing key principles to build resilience and drive sustainable change.
