At St Angela’s we are committed to creating calm, focused classrooms. One way we can make this happen is by exposing our students to daily mindfulness practices.

Why are we bringing mindfulness into our classrooms?

• Boosts focus and attention: Short mindfulness breaks help students settle their minds, making it easier to concentrate during lessons.
• Builds emotional resilience: Mindfulness teaches students to pause, reflect, and respond thoughtfully—skills that support emotional growth and reduce impulsive behavior.
• Reduces classroom stress: Whether it be anxiety or social pressure, mindfulness can help students find calm in the midst of it all.
• Fosters a more compassionate classroom culture: Students become more aware of themselves and others, leading to greater empathy and cooperation.
