Social-Emotional Learning

RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS

Respectful Relationships aims to embed a culture of respect and equality across our entire community. During the year, students will learn about building connections with peers. This program is complemented by the social emotional learning explored through ‘The Resilience Project’. 

THE RESILIENCE PROJECT

Our partnership with ‘The Resilience Project’ focuses on explicit teaching around four key themes: Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness, and Emotional Literacy. Classes usually participate in a Resilience Project session each week and reinforce the related skills and learning across the school week. 

TEAM WELLBEING DAYS

The purpose of RGLPS Wellbeing Days is to promote positive mental health and wellbeing. We aim to equip students with the tools to live healthy, fulfilled lives by holding a half day each term celebrating and focusing on mental health and wellbeing. 

Term Wellbeing Days are held in the final week of each term and will focus on one of the school values (Kindness, Persistence, Respect, Responsibility). Most classes will also link activities to other classroom programs and learning such as the term inquiry unit. Teachers will incorporate student voice and agency where possible, by asking children to vote or select between activities to enjoy on the day. Classes may play games, enjoy crafts, watch a movie, hold a dress up or a class celebration such as a party.
