Inclusion & Engagement
Rights, Resilience and Respectful Relationships
Here at Miners Rest Primary School we proudly include Respectful Relationships education as a core component of the Victorian Curriculum from Foundation to Year 6. We value embedding a culture of respect and equality across the entire school community.
The Respectful Relationships program supports schools and early childhood settings to promote and model respect, positive attitudes and behaviours. It teaches our children how to build healthy relationships, resilience and confidence.
At Miners Rest P.S, we follow the below lesson sequence across all year levels:
Topic 1-Emotional literacy
Topic 2-Personal and cultural strengths
Topic 3- Positive coping
Topic 4- Problem-solving
Topic 5- Stress Management
Topic 6- Help-seeking
Topic 7- Gender norms and stereotypes
Topic 8- Positive gender relationships
Please see below each cohorts term overview which is distributed to families at the beginning of each term.
