What Staff and Students say about this Program:

Cool Kids at St Michael’s Collegiate College
"The school’s most at-risk students appeared to respond best to the Cool Kids programme and the staff found it to be a highly worthwhile intervention."

Incorporating Heart Masters into a k-6 resilience program at St Michael’s Collegiate.
Over the past four years we have been constantly revising and adapting the program to suit the ever changing needs of the students and school. Students enjoy the activities and incorporating it with art helps for better transference of the message they are trying to learn.
