St. Joseph’s Take a Break Zones are special spaces across each learning community where students can take a moment to decompress, practise mindfulness, or to reset their thinking. The purpose of each Take a Break Zones is to teach self- regulation skills, for students to regain focus while developing their social and emotional skills. We have found these to be a powerful tool to support students to discover how to manage their own emotions in order for them to be ready to learn.
