Our Mission and Values Shape Our Community
The School For Living is dedicated to nurturing resilience in children, parents, and communities. We aim to empower individuals through sports, education, and community initiatives. Our commitment to these values guides everything we do, providing a strong foundation for personal and collective growth.
Building Resilience
We focus on equipping children and families with the skills needed to face life's challenges. Through tailored programs, we instill confidence and foster a supportive community.
Community Engagement
Our community programs encourage involvement, creating a network of support. Together, we work to enhance well-being and strengthen our bonds with one another.
We Empower People To Thrive
We develop resilience attributes in children early! Resilience is essentially an outcome that occurs from empowering individuals with the coping strategies to face and overcome adversities using with short- and long-term optimistic outcomes. To facilitate resilience building in children, it is essential to develop cognitive coping strategies that assist with the development of the prefrontal cortex. This is the area of the brain that houses resilience-based attributes.


What Is Resilience
ARE OUR CHILDREN READY FOR IT?
Resilience is defined as the individual’s ability to cope, adapt and perhaps even eventually thrive having faced or encountered adversity. Resilience isn’t necessarily something we automatically have, but rather it’s developed through challenging experiences or better still, controlled exposure to adversity and facilitated by developing the pre-frontal cortex. We use Dusty & Friends along with the Rainbow resilience tree, to conceptualise resilience in child friendly and engaging manner.
Our Approach to Building Resilience
At The School For Living, we focus on fostering resilience in children, parents, and communities using innovative methods in sports and education. Our programs are designed to inspire confidence and build strong foundations for growth.
