Over the last decade, mindfulness has been slowly rising in popularity with many individuals practising it on a regular basis. Evidence based research has found that there are many benefits to mindfulness which has prompted schools across the nation to implement this practice into their daily routines.
Mindfulness can be described as attention training for your brain, enabling you to focus on something without judgement and to stimulate curiosity. Mindfulness can be practised in a number of ways and is something that can be done by everyone - no matter what your age! It has been practised by many cultures around the world, but it is not exclusively affiliated to any particular philosophy or religion.
Mindfulness helps improve memory, engagement and performance. Its positive effect on the brain can improve immunity, mental wellbeing, learning ability, emotional health and even, time management. It is especially important in this era of information overload as our attention is constantly being pulled in many directions making us more distracted.
In this edition of SchoolTV, parents can learn the best way to introduce mindfulness to their children, implementing it into their daily lives to have an overall positive impact on family relationships. We hope you take time to reflect on the information offered in this month’s edition and we always welcome your feedback.
If you have any concerns about your child, please contact the College counsellor, Mary Superina for further information.

Opening Prayer |
Prayer for Happiness
Lord,
Help me to rest in your happiness,
to allow a smile to linger on my lips,
to dwell within a wonderful memory,
to walk back through sunlit places.
Help me to awake with hope,
to engage with life in all its variety,
to take in the beauty of others joys,
to touch the souls of those I meet
with thankfulness.
Help me not to miss
a single drop of heaven,
to catch each moment
and drink in the great joy of life.
Amen.
