Respectful Relationships
This term our students will be participating in Topics 7 & 8 which include Gender & Identity and Positive Gender Relationships.
TOPIC 7: GENDER AND IDENTITY
Learning activities within this topic assist students to challenge stereotypes and critique the influence of gender norms on attitudes and behaviour. They learn about key issues relating to human rights and gender identity, and focus on the importance of respect within relationships. The activities promote respect for diversity and difference.
TOPIC 8: POSITIVE GENDER RELATIONS
Learning activities within this topic focus on building an understanding of the effects of gender-based violence and focus on the standards associated with respectful relationships. Students develop the skills needed to solve problems, set boundaries within relationships, and play an active role within the prevention of gender-based violence. They develop peer support and help-seeking skills that can be applied in response to situations involving gender-based violence in family, peer, community or on-line relationships.
