Resilience, Rights & Respectful Relationships 

Term 2 Respectful Relationships Topic:

           Personal and cultural strengths  

What does this learning look like for our students? 

Students develop a vocabulary to help them recognise and understandstrengths and positive qualities in themselves and others. They identify the values and strengths they have learnt from role models within their familiesand culture to think about how this guidance helps them to treat others with respect. They consider how to draw on these strengths to engage with the challenges and opportunities that life presents.

Activities within this topic area will assist students to:

• describe personal and cultural strengths
