Practical regulation strategies
Students leave with concrete strategies for managing strong emotions — not just an understanding that they should.

Bring Mind Matters to your school.
A self-contained, approximately two-hour workshop for Year 3–6 students, designed to slot into a school day without a long lead-up. Everything you need is here — what's included, what it costs, and how to book.
Why schools book Mind Matters
Practical, age-appropriate, and built around doing.
Stronger communication skills
Expressing feelings respectfully and listening actively, practised through structured communication activities.
Conflict-resolution practice
Realistic scenarios give students a supported place to work through disagreements before they arise for real.
Interactive learning
Games, discussions and activities keep upper-primary students engaged for the full session.
Gives teachers time back
We teach the topic so your staff don't have to build it from scratch — and students who can resolve their own disagreements need less teacher intervention afterwards. That's time back for planning and teaching the curriculum.
Age-appropriate content
Written specifically for Year 3–6 — the language, examples and activities are pitched for this age group.
Flexible delivery
Run on site at your school or live online, whichever suits your timetable and budget.
Mind Matters is designed to give students practical tools they can apply when navigating challenging situations. It is an educational skill-building workshop — we don't claim it prevents bullying, guarantees fewer conflicts, or replaces your school's existing wellbeing supports.
What makes us different
Both halves of the problem, in one session.
Plenty of programs cover emotional wellbeing. Fewer cover conflict resolution. Very few do both, for this age group, delivered directly in schools.
Emotional regulation and conflict resolution
Most offerings pick one. Students need both — recognising a feeling is only useful if you also know what to do next.
Built for Years 3–6
Not a secondary program trimmed down. The language, examples and activities are written for upper primary from the start.
Delivered directly in schools
We come to your classroom rather than asking families to seek out a clinic or external service. Every student in the room takes part.
Taught the way this age group actually learns
Our clear difference is how we teach it: age-appropriate, fun and engaging, built around interactive games rather than explanation. Students leave with strategies they've already practised, not just heard about.
Who is it for?
Primary schools and K–12 schools with Year 3–6 students.
The workshop is built for upper-primary students, and works equally well in a standalone primary school or in the primary years of a K–12 school.
It's typically arranged by:
- Principals and deputy principals
- Wellbeing coordinators
- Heads of year and heads of department
- Classroom teachers
- Student support staff
Group size is flexible — from a single class through to a full year level. See pricing for how group sizes are structured.

Working out your total
A school's total is made up of the booking fee, the workshop component for your group size and delivery format, and printing where printed resources are required. We'll confirm the exact figure in writing before anything is locked in.
Not sure which option fits?
Tell us your year levels, approximate student numbers and whether you'd prefer in-person or online delivery, and we'll come back with a clear quote.

About Mind Matters
Who you'd be working with.
Mind Matters is an educational wellbeing initiative built around a single, practical workshop for Year 3–6 students.
[ Short background on who created Mind Matters and why — to be added ]
The workshop was developed by reviewing Australian research on primary-aged students and interviewing a parent, a senior teacher and a junior teacher. See the research.
Safety & compliance
Schools need this confirmed before anyone works with their students. We'll provide current documentation with your booking.
- Working with Children Check / Blue Card — [ status to be added ]
- Public liability insurance — [ details to be added ]
- Child safety and conduct approach — [ to be added ]
A staff member remains with the group for the whole session, in line with your school's own policies.
Questions
Common questions from schools
How long is the workshop?
Approximately two hours. We can discuss how that's scheduled around your timetable — including whether it runs as one block or is split.
What year levels is it suitable for?
Years 3 to 6. The content, language and activities are written specifically for this age group. Mixed groups across those year levels work well.
Can you deliver it online?
Yes. The core content is the same, with activities adapted so students are still participating rather than just watching. Online delivery runs through your school's preferred video platform.
How many students can take part?
Group sizes are flexible, from a single class up to a full year level. Pricing is structured in bands based on participant numbers — see the pricing page.
Is this a counselling or mental health service?
No. Mind Matters is an educational skill-building workshop. It doesn't provide counselling, assessment or clinical support, and it isn't a substitute for your school's wellbeing team or external services.
Do teachers need to prepare anything?
No preparation is required. We'll confirm the space, equipment and student numbers beforehand, and a staff member stays with the group in line with your school's policies.
What's the difference between in-person and online pricing?
In-person delivery has a higher minimum workshop cost because it includes on-site facilitation and printed materials. Online delivery removes those costs, so the minimum is lower. The content covered is the same.
When does the printing charge apply?
Printing applies at $5 per participant where printed worksheets and activity resources are required. For online sessions, digital resources can be used instead.
Is the booking fee separate from the workshop cost?
Yes. The $30 booking fee applies to every confirmed booking and sits on top of the workshop component.
Can pricing be adjusted for our school?
Pricing and workshop options may be customised depending on school requirements. If your situation doesn't fit neatly into the bands above, get in touch and we'll work something out.
