Wellness Theme

This year at 21CLHK we have a significant number of presentations on Wellness divided into two categories: School Wellness – all about classroom or whole school social/emotional wellness and secondly Personal Wellness – with a focus on the personal wellness of educators.

There is not a more important topic in education today!

Practical Mindfulness in the Early Years Routines

Now more than ever, teaching mindfulness in the classroom is a necessity. Our lives are busy, and we often find our thoughts buzzing over the past or worrying about the future. We need mindfulness because it teaches us to live in the present moment, enjoying and experiencing what’s in front of us.
