WHOLE SCHOOL WELLBEING

Accredited by the Victorian Institute of Teachers (VIC) and the Department of Education, our wellbeing program aims to enhance the capacity of educators to identify and appropriately respond to the mental health needs of children, support children through key transitions, and actively involve families and carers in the wellbeing of their children. Each key stage has their own age-appropriate program that ensures outstanding engagement, achievement and wellbeing to the whole school community.

“Wellness is a connection of paths: knowledge and action. It’s time to take action and invest in your future.”

staff development

We make it easier for incredible staff to be incredible. Even on the best days, stress can prevent us from being fully focused and doing our best. We support educators to help themselves, so they can help others.

what educators say

  • St Margaret's

    The Mushkins whole-school wellbeing program is just what we’ve been looking for. The children loved the Mushkin characters and it’s been a pleasure to watch the children develop mindfulness strategies and learn how they can self-regulate their emotions in difficult situations. It has inspired their imagination to problem solve and has supported children in their long-term dreams. We’ve noticed a huge difference in the classroom and we’d like to thank you for excellent service you’ve provided.

  • Montessori School

    The Mushkins fully understood the Montessori Method and implemented mindfulness with ease into our curriculum. They supported our children, staff and families. The characters are beautiful and the books have such purpose behind them. We’ve had great feedback from parents and staff, explaining that The Mushkins open their eyes and they are looking forward to utilising the information they’ve learnt.

  • Founder & Educator, Tiny Seeds Child Centre

    “The Mushkins provide wonderful information about mindfulness, grit, resilience and growth for children. Their classes have been great, easy to follow and really helpful. We now practice yoga because of the way it was shown and we love the beautifully drawn characters in their stories”

  • Educator, Brunswick Kindergarten

    “The Mushkins incursions were wonderful and we all enjoyed it, especially the children. The information was delivered beautifully and in a way that the children could relate. We would love to have The Mushkins back again in the future. Highly recommend”
