STUDENT WELLBEING
Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships Program
This term we are focusing on the topics Stress Management and Help Seeking.
The program aims to support our students to:
- demonstrate more positive social behaviour
- have improved academic outcomes
- Not engage in risky and disruptive behaviour
In each level the delivery of these topics will look very different but the messages will be similar. The Building Resilience online portal (www.education.vic.gov. au/resilience) makes available a wealth of tools and resources designed to support a comprehensive schoolwide approach to building respectful relationships and promoting the social and emotional learning, resilience, rights and wellbeing of students.
TOPIC 5: STRESS MANAGEMENT
Children and young people experience a range of personal, social and work-related stressors in their everyday lives. Activities within this topic have an explicit focus on teaching positive approaches to stress management. Assisting students to recognise their personal signs and symptoms of stress, and to develop strategies that will help them to deal with stress effectively and cope with future challenges. The activities focus on the ways in which self-calming strategies can be used to manage stressful situations.
TOPIC 6: HELP-SEEKING
Learning activities in this topic area are designed to help students discuss the importance of seeking help and providing peer support when dealing with problems that are too big to solve alone. This helps to normalise and destigmatise help-seeking behaviour. Scenario-based activities help students identify situations in which help should be sought, identify trusted sources of help, and practice seeking help from peers and adults.
