Mind Makers

Mind Makers Year 5 & 6 Workshop

Strong Minds. Strong Morals.

We’re raising children in an increasingly complex world where online influences and social pressures play a significant role. The “Mind Makers” workshop empowers Year 5 and 6 students with the skills and understanding they need to navigate these challenges confidently. We provide proactive, age-appropriate tools and sticky strategies to foster emotional wellbeing, critical thinking, and positive personal development, supporting both students and their families.

“Mind Makers” is a comprehensive package designed for upper primary students, delivered right in your school. We create a safe and engaging space for children to explore:

  • Navigating Peer Pressure: Building confidence to make good choices, even when it’s tough.
  • Critical Thinking Online: Understanding influence and developing healthy media awareness.
  • Understanding & Expressing Emotions: Developing healthy ways to identify and communicate feelings.
  • Building Emotional Resilience: Learning practical, repeatable strategies for self-regulation and calm.
  • Positive Identity & Relationships: Exploring positive concepts of self and respectful interactions.

Our “Mind Makers” Package Includes

Engaging Student Incursion (60-90 minutes):

  • An interactive, face-to-face session for Year 5 & 6 classes targeting toxic online influences and the flow on to home and school environments.
  • Focuses on practical, memorable techniques for emotional regulation and navigating social dynamics.
  • Builds essential skills in self-awareness, empathy, and critical thinking.

Student Reflection Workbook:

  • Reinforces key concepts through student-led activities.

  • Provides valuable prompts for classroom and family discussions.

Online Parent Workshop:
