RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS

By Ms Miles - Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships Coordinator

Respectful Relationships is about tackling family violence through education. Just like other major social and health issues such as smoking and road toll, evidence shows that family violence can be prevented by working across the whole population (in this case, all schools) to address the attitudes, beliefs and knowledge that support violence. The Victorian Government is investing $21.8 million to deliver Respectful Relationships and as part of this initiative Victorian schools will be supported to review their practices and policies, and model respectful relationships and gender equality across the whole school community. Please see below our school’s commitment to this initiative. More information, activities and links about the program will follow throughout the year.
