Lesson 1: Self Check

Miggy is like a guard dog in our brain — he tries to keep us safe, but sometimes he gets loud even when there's no real danger. This lesson with Mrs Helen Papas helps us notice the body clues (like a racing heart or sweaty hands) and thinking clues (like worrying or imagining the worst) that tell us Miggy is taking over. Once we notice these signs early, we can choose what to do next instead of letting Miggy be the boss.

Lesson 2: Feelings are Visitors

All feelings are normal — even the tricky ones like worry, frustration or disappointment. This lesson with Ms Katy Donovan shows that feelings are like visitors: they arrive, stay for a while, and then leave. We don't have to stay stuck in a feeling to keep trying and having a go.

Lesson 3: Think like a Detective 

Our thoughts aren't always facts. This lesson with Mr David MacFarlane shows how Miggy can sometimes give us "tricky thoughts" that feel true even when there's not much evidence for them. We practise slowing down, asking detective questions, and looking for evidence before believing everything Miggy tells us.

Lesson 4: Think Again

Once we've noticed a tricky thought, this lesson with Ms Vivyana Mole shows us how to turn it into a helpful one. We use "Spot It, Stop It, Swap It" — spotting the tricky thought, stopping to check it, and swapping it for something more balanced. We can't always control what happens, but we can choose how we think about it.

Lesson 5: Belly Breathe

When Miggy gets too loud, our body can find it hard to think clearly. This lesson teaches how to notice the early signs that Miggy is taking over — and calming strategies like Belly Breathing, to calm our body so our Smart Brain can take back control.

Lesson 6: Remind Your Friends

Everybody needs a reminder sometimes. This lesson with Ms Ganaa is about being a good friend by kindly reminding others to use their Miggy strategies — and letting our friends solve their own problems and make their own choices. 

Lesson 7: Seek Help

Being the boss of your brain doesn't mean doing everything alone. This lesson with our Principal, Ms Monica Marchiello, shows that asking a trusted adult for help is a sign of strength, not weakness — and the difference between an adult rescuing you (solving it for you) and coaching you (helping you work through it yourself).

Lesson 8: Concordissime — Peace and Harmony Starts With Me

This final lesson brings all seven strategies together. We can't always control what other people do, but we can choose how we respond — and that choice helps build a peaceful, caring school community.
