Social-Emotional Learning

RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS

Respectful Relationships aims to embed a culture of respect and equality across our entire community. Using this approach has been proven to result in positive impacts on academic outcomes, mental health, classroom behaviour, and relationships between teachers and students. 

During the year, students will learn about building connections with peers. This program will complement the social emotional learning explored through ‘The Resilience Project’.

All classes will engage in one Respectful Relationships lesson per week.  

THE RESILIENCE PROJECT

This year, RGLPS continues to partner with The Resilience Project (TRP). The Resilience Project is committed to teaching positive mental health strategies to prevent mental ill health and to build young people’s capacity to deal with adversity.

‘The Resilience Project’ focuses on explicit teaching around four key themes: Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness, and Emotional Literacy. All classes participate at least once Resilience Project session each week and reinforce the related skills and learning across the school week. Each student will receive a personal Resilience Project Student Journal.

SPECIAL DAYS AND EVENTS

Throughout the year, RGLPS students will also engage in learning activities to recognise special events such as Day for Daniel, ANZAC Day and Sorry Day.
