The Resilience Project at St Thomas' Camp Hill

St Thomas’ School Camp Hill is on a mission to help their students become happier and more resilient.

With dedicated lessons planned each week, thanks to their partnership with the Resilience Project, students at the primary school experience mindfulness activities and learn what it means to show gratitude and empathy.

St Thomas’ School Principal Liam Beatty said this school-wide initiative, launched in Term 1, had been embedded at every level, from students to staff and parents.

“It is an opportunity for us to talk openly about our emotions,” he said.

“Our staff made a commitment to run these lessons across the school at the same time and we are already noticing a difference.

“It is also an opportunity for our staff to nourish their wellbeing, and when they understand that, they can now teach this in class.

“For parents, it gives them the chance to talk to their children about how they are feeling and about what is going on at school and provides the community with a common language.

The Resilience Project, which is current being embedded across three pilot Brisbane Catholic Education schools, focuses on three key pillars proven to cultivate positive emotion which are gratitude, empathy and mindfulness (GEM).
