Term 4 

Personal Social Capabilities Curriculum

Foundation 

This term, our Personal and Social Capabilities Curriculum is focusing on building children’s wellbeing through the Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships program. Students will be learning how to work cooperatively with others, recognise the trusted adults at school who can support them, and identify helpful people in their lives outside of school. They will also practise asking for help through role-play, giving them the confidence to reach out when they need support. These lessons aim to strengthen children’s teamwork, resilience, and help-seeking skills both at school and beyond.
