Years 4-6 students are working through Rights, Responsibilities and Respectful Relationships (RRRR) a program provided by the Department of Education. The initiative focuses on teaching social, emotional and relationship skills to students as well as assists schools to create caring and equitable learning environments. This term we will be focusing on:

Gender & Identity

This topic teaches students about human rights and responsibilities. It helps to develop students’ understanding around the influence of harmful gender norms on attitudes and behaviour. Gender norms and stereotypes can be harmful when they lead to discrimination or when they limit people’s life choices. Classroom activities help children resist harmful social pressures and develop rich identities that are not constrained by stereotypes.

Positive Gender Relationships

In this topic students develop skills needed to solve problems, set boundaries within relationships and play an active role in preventing violence. Activities within this topic range from understanding fair play in the early years all the way to helping young people understand the importance of consent in relationships and equipping them with the skills needed to respond assertively to protect their personal boundaries and standards.

Each week I will be putting home based activities you can engage in with your family if you please. This weeks are below
