Victorian Education Plan<br />

Education State<br />

The ambitious Education State plan maps out a range of key<br />

targets for education across Victoria over the next 10-years.<br />

A number of key Education State goals directly align with our<br />

programs:<br />

“We are making Victoria the<br />

Education State by building an<br />

education system that produces<br />

excellence and reduces the impact<br />

of disadvantage.”<br />

A number of key Education State goals directly align with the <strong>Smiling</strong> <strong>Mind</strong><br />

programs:<br />

Learning for life<br />

ü The <strong>Smiling</strong> <strong>Mind</strong> programs enhance learning<br />

outcomes; improves attention and concentration and<br />

engagement with school.<br />

Happy, healthy and resilient kids - School will be a positive<br />

experience and nurturing environment for our children to<br />

develop confidence, social skills and healthy life habits.<br />

ü The <strong>Smiling</strong> <strong>Mind</strong> programs build resilience; enhance<br />

wellbeing and confidence both personally and in their<br />

school environment.<br />

Breaking the link - Students at risk of poor learning<br />

outcomes will be supported to reach their potential and<br />

stay in education for better life opportunities.<br />

ü The <strong>Smiling</strong> <strong>Mind</strong> programs enhance outcomes for all<br />

students, particularly those who are at risk.<br />

Pride and confidence in our schools - Parents and<br />

communities will report their level of pride and confidence<br />

in their local government schools. We want Victorians<br />

to be proud of the great government schools in their<br />

communities.<br />

ü The <strong>Smiling</strong> <strong>Mind</strong> programs are a whole of school<br />

approach including teachers, students and parents. Our<br />

programs foster engagement, confidence and connection.<br />

“Our school has embraced mindfulness using the <strong>Smiling</strong><br />

<strong>Mind</strong> App over the last couple of years and we have<br />

noticed a great difference in the children. Parents are also<br />

using it at home. Thank you for this initiative that makes<br />

a difference for all ages”<br />
