Pause Breathe Smile is a mind health programme designed to help tamariki learn essential skills to manage the ups and downs of life and set them up for a healthy future. It is delivered in schools by our teachers and is aligned with the New Zealand curriculum. Southern Cross funds Pause Breathe Smile, which means our school can access the programme and resources for free.

Pause Breathe Smile is locally developed and internationally recognised. Research results show that Pause Breathe Smile increases wellbeing, reduces stress, boosts conflict resolution skills, and enhances self-awareness.
