Resilience, Rights, and Respectful Relationships 

Surfside Primary School has been a Respectful Relationships School for a number of years now.  This initiative, often shortened to simply “RR” provides more than curriculum to develop and foster resilience and respectful healthy relationships amongst students across the school.  The RR initiative Please have a look at the video link below to find out more about the breath of this initiative.      

The background behind the RR initiative

The Royal Commission into Family Violence identified the critical role that schools and early childhood education have in creating a culture of respect to change the story of family violence for future generations.

Everyone in our community deserves to be respected, valued and treated equally. We know that changes in attitudes and behaviours can be achieved when positive attitudes, behaviours and equality are embedded in our education settings.

Respectful Relationships is about embedding a culture of respect and equality across our entire community, from our classrooms to staffrooms, sporting fields, fetes and social events. This approach leads to positive impacts on student’s academic outcomes, their mental health, classroom behaviour, and relationships between teachers and students.

Together, we can lead the way in saying yes to respect and equality, and creating genuine and lasting change so that every child has the opportunity to achieve their full potential.​
