We have five regular program elements that aim to promote healthy connections and relationships, boost cognitive function, rebuild social and emotional skills and improve coping strategies which are incorporated into our daily schedule. Young people will engage with our elements through out the day and is a compulsory part of attending North Academy.
Circle Time: Building fundamental healthy connections so healing may occur, and learning can begin.
Move: Physical exercise is proven to stimulate neurogenesis, enhancing cognitive function, concentration, and on-task behaviour.
Brain Breather: Mindful awareness practice changes how our body and brain respond to stress, preparing nervous systems to learn.
Brain Boost: Mental exercise helps and reshapes through the power of neuroplasticity, improving the speed of thought, decision-making, cognitive function and memory.
Replay: Strategies that develop social and emotional skills in young people allowing them to better cope with stressful situations, providing a better educational experience.
