🎨 Kindness is free. And so is our World Kindness Day Art Activity Pack! 💛

With World Kindness Day coming up on Friday 13 November, our delightful Nikki has put together a FREE Art Activity Pack for K–6 students to get your whole school creating and spreading a little kindness!

And there’s good reason to get creative!

Research shows that engaging in the arts can support our mental health and wellbeing. Whether it’s drawing, painting, dancing, singing or making something with our hands, creative activities can help us express emotions, reduce stress, connect with others and experience a little more joy.

And when we combine creativity with kindness? Even better!

So grab your art supplies, get those creative juices flowing and let’s fill our schools with kindness this November.

💛 Want your FREE K–6 Art Activity Pack? Comment WKD below and we’ll send you a link to the PDF!

📚 Looking for your next great read?
Well What Are We Reading Wednesday is Back!!

From beautiful picture books for little readers to moving novels and gripping nonfiction for grown-ups, we’ve rounded up a few books we’ve been enjoying recently.

Stories that spark curiosity, build empathy, challenge our thinking and remind us of the power of connection.

There’s something here for every age!

Last week Julia from our team and Sarah from Highfields School spent two days at the Trauma-Aware Education Conference 2026 in Brisbane. One message came up again and again: a child’s nervous system takes its cue from ours.

In fact the words ‘nervous system’ was definitely the most used phrase. Which we were all about!

A dysregulated adult can’t regulate a child. We might get compliance, but the behaviour keeps coming back. What helps isn’t being perfectly calm. It’s being present enough to stay connected.

Swipe for the ideas that have been percolating in our minds.

With thanks to all the amazing presenters, legendary people emparting your knowledge in workshops and the conference organising team 👏🏻

We are thinking of recording the workshop we presented - ‘Building low- arousal transitions and sensory strategies for wellbeing for lower primary schools’.

Gratitude. A very popular word in the world of positive psychology and social and emotional wellbeing. However, it can at times feel a little grating. And in fact, it can be counterproductive if we force it on others and ourselves. So start with something relatively easy, yet powerful. Notice kind acts. Teach your kids to notice them too. This might sound like: Who was kind to you today? Was anyone encouraging on the field? Who tends to stand up for people? We have a bite-sized podcast episode for kids called: It's Contagious. Comment contagious and we will send it your way.

🎧 What We Are Listening to Wednesday – Season 6, Episode 11: Be a Good Human

As we approach the end of Season 6, our young podcast hosts turn interviewers, sitting down with former rugby league player, author and book influencer Luke Bateman for a brilliant conversation about what it really means to be a good human.

They explore kindness, respect, why talking about your emotions is a sign of strength, and the powerful reminder that everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about.

Here’s a little taster of their conversation. We think there’s plenty of wisdom here for kids and adults alike!

🎧 Tune in to the full episode and keep an ear out for Part 2!

🌱 Grow Your Mind school subscribers: Head to the platform for accompanying classroom lessons and activities.

A big thank you to the University of Wollongong for providing the recording space for this special episode!

We get by with a little help from our friends… 🎶

And we feel very lucky to have school friends like the wonderful team at Highfields!

In fact, later this week, Highfields' Sarah Jones will be joining our very own Content and Curriculum Manager, Julia Delaney, to present at the Trauma Aware Conference in Brisbane. Now there's a duo to watch!

We've loved working alongside the Highfields team to support their whole-school approach to wellbeing. From helping students better understand their brains, emotions, friendships and resilience, to professional learning with teachers and workshops with parents and carers.

Because wellbeing works best when everyone is part of it.

A big thank you to the Highfields team for the beautiful words and for letting us play a small part in the brilliant work you're doing with your students. 💛🌱

Is it better to be a positive boy or a positive human? The answer to this question and more can be found on this uplifting 2 part interview with

A huge thank you to year 12 student, Josh Das from for allowing us to include a snippet of his terrific speech about being a positive human.

With our attention pulled in so many directions and violence against women and girls continues every day, this interview is a beacon of hope.

Rather than telling boys what’s wrong with them, and show them what’s possible: being vulnerable, brave and kind, doing the right thing, assuming the best in others and remembering you never know what kind of day someone has had.

This two part interview is pitched for upper primary but really it is for everyone.

Thank you to the wonderful boys who interviewed all those months ago. You are brave, kind and beautiful 💕👊
