The Resilience Project

At Grey Street Primary School, we are committed to fostering the well-being and emotional strength of our students through The Resilience Project. This innovative programme aims to equip our young learners with essential life skills that help them navigate challenges and build a positive mindset.

What is The Resilience Project?

The Resilience Project is a comprehensive initiative that focuses on promoting mental health and resilience in students. The programme is based on three core principles:

  1. Gratitude: Encouraging students to appreciate what they have and express thankfulness for the positive aspects of their lives.
  2. Empathy: Teaching students to understand and share the feelings of others, fostering kindness and compassion in our school community.
  3. Mindfulness: Helping students to stay present and engaged in the moment, reducing stress and improving focus through mindful practices.

Programme Activities

The Resilience Project integrates a variety of engaging and interactive activities into our curriculum, including:

  • Daily Journaling: Students reflect on their day and write about things they are grateful for, moments of empathy they experienced, and mindful practices they engaged in.
  • Classroom Discussions: Regular discussions on topics related to gratitude, empathy, and mindfulness to deepen understanding and reinforce positive behaviours.
  • Mindfulness Exercises: Guided mindfulness sessions that include breathing exercises, meditation, and mindful movement to help students manage stress and stay focused.
  • Empathy Projects: Collaborative projects where students work together to help others in the community, fostering a sense of connection and social responsibility.

  • Improved Emotional Regulation: Students learn to manage their emotions effectively, leading to better relationships and a more positive school environment.
