The Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships (RRRR) 

In Term 3 all students across P-6 will focus on Topic 8 - Gender Based Relations. This teaches students to build and set boundaries in positive relationships between and within genders, and the importance of accepting difference and diversity. It plays an active role within the prevention of gender-based violence.

Activities will assist students to: 

• Develop an understanding of gender-based violence as involving unfair and hurtful behaviours based on ideas about what it means to be a boy or a girl
• Identify examples of the ways that gender-based violence can include things that people say (verbal), things they do to others’ bodies or possessions (physical) or things people do that affect how safe or welcome people feel e.g. ignoring, leaving out, laughing at (psychological)
•  Examine the effects of physical, verbal and psychological gender-based violence
• Identify and practice respectful and gender friendly behaviours
• Develop and practice assertiveness and help seeking strategies to protect themselves when they feel unsafe in situations involving gender based violence.
