It has been an incredible year for the b kinder foundation, and we are thrilled to report, our most successful yet. We’re proud to share that our school wellbeing programs have now reached over 400 schools and 200,000 students across Australia. We could not have achieved this without the schools, students, supporters and partners who believe in the power of kindness.
Here are just some of the moments we have celebrated;
Student summits in The Whitsundays, Hobart, and Sydney
