become a b kinder school

overview of b kinder schools and application form

b kinder school – inspired by kindness, empowered by students.

b kinder school is an annual initiative that is led by your student leadership team.
 
This student-led initiative encourages student leaders to cultivate essential relationship skills while collaborating and connecting with their teachers and peers. It helps teach leadership skills such as empathetic listening, problem solving, teamwork, and appreciation for diversity. The ultimate goal? To empower and inspire the student leadership teams to weave a tapestry of positivity, kindness, and compassion that blankets the entire school.

This annual program encourages role modelling leadership with kindness that inspires other students to want to follow. It ignites a journey towards empathy and compassion, resilience, and confidence. By fostering ownership of their actions, students craft a blueprint for a kinder tomorrow.

b kinder schools is a simple initiative and can be tailored to accommodate the requirements of preschools through high schools. This straightforward program aids lead teachers without necessitating additional training or extracurricular activities, with b kinder available to offer support or guidance whenever needed.

Becoming a b kinder school signifies a proactive approach to student leadership. These schools empower student leaders to actively exemplify and cultivate a culture of kindness, empathy, and compassion throughout the entire school community.

This initiative assigns specific responsibilities to student leaders, empowering them to use their voices and take meaningful action to enact positive change within their school.

There are five key kindness initiatives that serve as criteria for application:

  1. Leading a b kinder day event at your school
  2. Establishing a designated "kindness space" within the school
  3. Demonstrating a commitment to community service
  4. Instituting methods for recognizing acts of kindness among students
  5. Connecting with other student leaders from other b kinder schools or introducing the concept of b kinder day to a new school.


Upon completion and submission of the application and order form, schools will gain access to a one-hour professional development video for lead teachers, as well as detailed information for student leadership teams regarding the above initiatives. Lead teachers will receive a simple password/log-in via email.
