PLANNER 2025

“If it is to be it is up to me.” William Johnsen
Resilient Mindset
A resilient mindset means that you are willing and able to develop Grateful Connections, Self-Control, Empathy and Self-Belief. Throughout this planner there are questions and lessons on each of these, and by thinking about and writing down your thoughts you will be moving towards developing a resilient mindset. For each of these, colour in on the following diagrams where you feel you are at right now.
Your own, thoughts, words and actions contribute to about 40% to your state of wellbeing, so it makes good sense to look on the bright side of life, smile and be kind to others because they matter.
WHATINFLUENCES WELLBEING?
Grateful Connections: being grateful for your relationships with others and yourself and what you have.

I WON’T DO IT
The Big Five are what you need to do and be aware of to stay physically and mentally healthy. There are daily opportunities to monitor each of these using out of 5.
At the end of each week summarise your daily efforts by colouring in each of the Big Five on how well you went.
The Term Breaks are opportunities for you to reflect on how well you are developing a resilient mindset. To feel that you are moving forward, reflect on the four components of having a resilient mindset, and enjoy focusing your energies to solve the Mindfulness Puzzles and to use pattern, repetition and control to enjoy the Mindfulness Colouring In.
To build both your resilience and wellbeing, there are 20 lessons for your class to do together.

Character Strengths Week – Gratitude
Resilient Mindset Intention: WHY: for your class to enjoy using the Character Strength Gratitude to make a positive difference to your and others’ wellbeing. HOW: Put up a copy of this page in your home room and one on the fridge at home. Then, when you, other students, or members of your family notices someone or themselves being grateful, they write it on the sheet. This activity is about consciously looking for opportunities to use and notice the strength gratitude.
CHARACTER STRENGTH WEEK
GRATITUDE WEEK
Think about the little things you already have in your life that you are grateful for, not the things you want. What would happen if they weren’t there? Think about the many kind acts others do for you, without you asking. Do you say “thank you”? Choosing to show gratitude builds everyone’s wellbeing. This week, make Gratitude Walls both in your classroom and at home for your class and your family to write down or draw things they are grateful for and what they said to say “thank you”.
This Week’s Gratitudes: This week, write down or draw little things that you are grateful for and kind things others did for you that you are grateful for, and then say “thank you” to them. Also, who was grateful for your efforts this week?
Last Word: which people and what things are you grateful to have in your life?

Virtues and Strengths Word Search
Resilient Mindset Intention: WHY: for you to practise looking for and then using more accurate vocabulary to describe values, virtues and strengths (an important skill of emotional literacy). HOW: first look for the most unusual letter in each word in the search, and then look for the rest of the letters in the word around it.
