At Bedourie State School, we recognise that a student’s wellbeing is just as important as their academic success. We are committed to supporting the mental, emotional and physical health of every student through both whole-school programs and individual support.
A key part of our approach includes the use of the Smiling Mind Learning Hub—a mindfulness-based wellbeing program designed specifically for schools. Through this program, students develop skills in:
- emotional regulation
- self-awareness and reflection
- focus and concentration
- resilience and stress management.
Smiling Mind is integrated into classroom routines and activities, helping students build lifelong habits that support positive mental health.
Our wellbeing framework also includes:
- access to specialist support staff (e.g. guidance officers)
- strong relationships and small-group support
- active participation in Bedourie Busters
- a safe, inclusive environment where every student feels valued.
Together with families and community partners, we aim to help every student feel calm, confident and connected.
