Resilience Rights and Respectful Relationships

Topic 8: Positive Gender Relations

During term 4 students will be involved in weekly lessons around 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.

EveryBODY program

We will soon be delivering the ‘EveryBODY’ program as part of the Victorian Curriculum, mandated through the Child Safe Standards and compulsory for Victorian Government Schools (primary, secondary and specialist). The Department of Education and Training’s School Policy and Advisory Guide states that Relationships and Sexuality Education is a shared responsibility between parents/carers, school-based programs and the local health and welfare community.

To assist the school community, LEPS will be offering parent information sessions for the different class groups on:

Year 3 - 6 Families - Tuesday 31 October 2023 5:00pm - 6:30pm  

Prep - Year 2 Families - Wednesday 1 November 2023 5:00pm - 6:30pm 

This is a wonderful opportunity for parents to come along and ask questions about what your child will be learning over the 3 sessions. The families who attended last year's parent information sessions found it very beneficial.
