SCHOOL & STUDENT FITNESS & FUNCTION
School health and wellness doesn’t stop at the student, it should integrate the teachers and staff too.
Our end-to-end solutions are heavily aligned to physical literacy and the national curriculum with scheduled levels of support starting with basic motor skill and cognition tracking in primary school to advanced sport performance in the later years.
Function, stability and mobility are essential components of a good, active and healthy life so this is where our focus remains throughout the students journey and personal growth. Not every child likes sport and each place their unique value on PE so we integrate primitive sociology with innovative technologies to create really engaging environments.
Our belief is that health promotes health so we reinforce our physical services with training, professional development and accreditation via LMS and workshops for teachers, parents and staff to support positive habitual change across the school.
Function and Fitness
FUNCTION, FITNESS & WELLNESS TRACKING
Changing the focus is creating positive change in PE and the holistic view of physical literacy in schools.
Sport is a bi-product of a healthy life whether competitive of social but all of this is defined by our primitive ability to move well and pain free so MIND work closely with schools to provide an end-to-end service from initial baseline assessment to longitudinal tracking and intervention programs…by allied health professionals rather than personal trainers or sport coaches.
- Age specific programming with assessments based on function, mobility, stability, cognition, motor skills and active engagement
- Educational connection to the national curriculum for consistency
- Professionally trained practitioners using the latest protocols and technologies for unbiased objectivity
- Ongoing resources that are individualised to each and every student’s journey
- Affordable support to assist the workload of teaching staff
PERFORMANCE TESTING & INJURY PREVENTION
Overloading our children through PE classes, extra-curricular sport and additional community sport through a week is a dangerous mixture so we align the real development of each student on an individual basis as each child grows physically and emotionally at a different rate.
Objective performance testing can be designed to suit different levels of experience and to each sporting code.
Performance testing is not only about elitism and development but is a foundation of early identification of injury risk. Aligning these assessments with the coaching team, PE teachers and parents allows a proactive approach to player welfare and optimising the long-term career.
Special assessments are available for concussion tracking and fundamental movement to highlight risks of soft-tissue injuries and common injuries such as ACL’s.

STAFF WELL-BEING PROGRAMS
Children replicate what they see and adapt to an environment quickly and socially so MIND support the entire school with staff well-being programs aligned directly to the student programs too.
