Many leading schools across Victoria and Australia have successfully implemented our well-being dog program. Students benefit with reduced anxiety, improved focus, and calm learning environments.
Clarinda Primary School
Integrating Therapy Dogs into Student Wellbeing
Clarinda Primary School has embraced the integration of therapy dogs into its student wellbeing initiatives. The school has welcomed therapy dogs, including Sampson and Honey, who have become cherished members of the school community. These dogs participate in various activities, such as being read to by students and providing companionship during recess and lunchtime. Their presence has been instrumental in creating a supportive and nurturing environment, contributing to the emotional and social development of students.
East Bentleigh Primary School
