“What a positive change Smiling Mind has had on our little school. We have weekly staff mindfulness in the morning before school and our students take time every single day for a Smiling Mind session. It’s incredible the overall climate change this wonderful program has had on our class and our staff team.”

— Participant in Smiling Mind’s Education Program

The Smiling Mind Primary School Program takes an evidence-based approach to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of children and educators in the classroom and beyond.

This program has been developed to equip educators with the knowledge, resources and lesson plans to deliver social and emotional learning (SEL) in the classroom. The program is fully supported by online professional development training.

The Primary School Program provides your school with:

  • A 12 month subscription to the Smiling Mind Primary Classroom Curriculum—a suite of 120 pre-prepared lessons plans for Years 1 to 6. The curriculum is available online and supported by an engaging digital student view which brings SEL lessons to life in the classroom.

  • A self-paced online professional development course for educators: ‘Mindfulness Foundations’.

  • A licence to our online Learning Hub containing additional educational resources for the Primary Classroom Curriculum and the Mindfulness Foundations course.

  • Access to the Professional Development Webinar Series covering specialist topics (including trauma and ADHD) and an online community of other Smiling Mind educators through Live Practice Sessions.

 “[Through the Smiling Mind Schools Program] we’ve noticed our students are now able to articulate their feelings and why they might be feeling that way. Rather than saying ‘I feel sick and I want to go home’, they see it as nerves or anxiety, and we can help them with that.”

—Leigh Tankey, Head of Curriculum, Agnes Water State School

Easy implementation, big impact


The Smiling Mind Primary School Program includes the highly rated Primary Classroom Curriculum, which offers 120 pre-planned social and emotional learning lessons for year levels 1 to 6. This curriculum is a comprehensive, stand-alone wellbeing program that is mapped to the Australian curriculum and co-designed by psychologists and educators to incorporate elements of Positive Psychology and Positive Education principles.

Implementing lessons in the classroom is as simple as 'plug and play'—with no additional research or lesson planning needed.
