About Life Skills
Programs
At
Life Skills Programs Pty Ltd we believe that it starts with
education. The company began with the launching of the Mind Magic
program aimed at children from 5-9 years of age. We have a belief
that education is not only for children to achieve academically but
more importantly to provide them with the powerful tools of
self-discipline, self-awareness and self-esteem. It is our vision
to reform school culture in order that all children are equipped to
become confident adults who are caring, tolerant, fair and
compassionate.
With a commitment to encouraging schools to implement life skills
education, the Mind Magic series
was established in September 2006 to provide a diverse range of
age-appropriate life skills educational lessons to schools,
educational institutions, recreational camps and retail outlets.
Our unique and
innovative programs are designed for the teacher, facilitator or
parent to deliver powerful lessons in life skills principles and
values. Using the ‘7 Teaching Techniques’, the children
actively participate in fun games and activities that have a lasting
impact on them and their future and assist them in reaching their
full potential.
