Respectful Relationships

Respectful Relationships (RRRR) Curriculum

The RRRR curriculum encompasses eight key areas of Social and Emotional Learning and is integrated across all levels of primary and secondary education. These focus areas include:

• Emotional Literacy
• Personal and Cultural Strengths
• Positive Coping 
• Problem Solving
• Stress Management
• Help Seeking
• Gender Norms and Stereotypes
• Positive Gender Relationships

Respectful Relationships education fosters an environment of respect and gender equality, providing students with the essential skills needed to build healthy, positive relationships. The curriculum empowers students to navigate challenges by cultivating strong problem-solving abilities, resilience, and confidence.

Through the implementation of the RRRR curriculum, we are committed to creating a school culture embedded with respect and equality. RRRR not only supports students in understanding and managing emotions such as anger and frustration but also encourages the development of diverse problem-solving techniques.

As a school we are passionate about embedding the RRRR curriculum within our whole school community. By promoting a culture of respect and equality, we aim to enhance student outcomes—both academically and personally—while positively influencing their mental health, classroom behaviours, and interpersonal relationships.

In the first two weeks of Term 3, students will engage with the following topics, tailored to their year level:

• Foundation: Problem Solving
• Year 1/2: Personal and Cultural Strengths
• Year 3/4: Help Seeking

These topics are designed to build foundational skills in social and emotional learning, fostering a deeper understanding of problem-solving, self-awareness, and seeking support when needed.
