Where Kindness Becomes Part of School Life
Every school wants students to feel safe, connected and supported.
But building a positive culture doesn't happen through rules alone — it grows through everyday behaviour.
The My Acts of Kindness Schools Program helps schools embed kindness into daily school life through simple practices that students understand and lead themselves.
Because when kindness becomes habit, it becomes culture.
The Story Behind the Program
A child’s sense of belonging shapes how they learn, how they treat others, and how they see themselves.
Across Australia, many schools are seeing growing challenges around loneliness, bullying and social disconnection. Teachers are working harder than ever to support student wellbeing.
The My Acts of Kindness Schools Program was created to help schools nurture something simple but powerful — everyday kindness.
The program introduces students to three small practices they can use every day:
When these small behaviours are practised regularly, they begin to shape the culture of a school.
Over time kindness becomes something students notice, encourage and lead themselves.
Case Study
St Kevin’s Primary School
When St Kevin’s introduced the My Acts of Kindness program, the goal was simply to encourage students to notice kindness more often.
What followed was something much bigger.
Students began recognising moments of kindness across the school grounds.
A Year 5 student helping a younger student find their classroom.
Children inviting classmates who were sitting alone to join their games.
Teachers noticed that students were beginning to lead kindness themselves.
Rather than teachers reminding students about behaviour, students were reminding each other about kindness.
What began as a small initiative quickly became something woven into the culture of the school.

The Impact
Schools that introduce the My Acts of Kindness program begin to see small but powerful shifts.
Students become more aware of each other.
Acts of kindness are recognised and celebrated.
Positive behaviours start to spread naturally.
Over time kindness becomes more than something students talk about.
It becomes something they practise every day.
A habit. A shared language. A culture.
Kindness has the power to transform a school community.
And it begins with one small action.
