Respectful Relationship News

This term the focus for Respectful Relationships has been on revisiting Topics 1-6 that were taught during Terms 1,2 and 3 across all year levels this year. Teaching Respectful Relationships at Mill Park Heights Primary School is crucial because it fosters the development of positive and supportive interactions among students. It further instils positive behaviours and values through lessons targeted to each year level. Lessons are taught in a fun, hands on and relatable way. 

 

Here are some of the key reasons why Respectful Relationships is important:

  • Encourages students to value others perspectives and experiences.
  • Helps build a culture of kindness, inclusion, and mutual respect.
  • Encourages communication about understanding different emotions and positive coping strategies. 
  • Teaches strategies for managing feelings such as anger or frustration, which are essential for self-regulation.
  • Teaches students how to take turns, listen actively, and work collaboratively with others.
