Expression of Interest

13 May 2026
Dear Principal, School Executive and Teachers,

Nan Tien Temple is pleased to invite your school to participate in our 2026 Student Well-being & Mindfulness Program for primary schools. This is a free, classroom-based initiative designed to support student well-being through short, structured mindfulness practices that promote emotional regulation, focus, and resilience.

As a long-standing cultural and educational centre in New South Wales, Nan Tien Temple supports schools through excursions and learning programs. This initiative extends that support into the classroom with simple, age-appropriate well-being resources that fit easily within daily routines. The program involves short 10 – 15 minute weekly meditation sessions, which can be adapted to suit classroom needs. Through guided audio practices and structured resources, students develop emotional awareness and self-regulation, calm attention and focus, empathy and respectful relationships, and positive well-being habits for learning and daily life.

Participating schools will receive:

• a limited edition children’s picture book—《Seeking Treasure with Bodhi》

• a class set of meditation cushions

• a Bodhi mindfulness companion (elephant plush toy with guided audio tracks)

The program supports student well-being outcomes within the Australian Curriculum and aligns with key areas of PDHPE, including:

• emotional awareness and self-regulation

• positive relationships and empathy

• attention, resilience, and positive learning behaviours

• personal and social capability development.

We warmly invite your school to participate and complete the Expression of Interest by 8 June 2026:

We look forward to supporting calm, focused, and resilient learning through practical mindfulness practices in the classroom.

With kind regards,
