Resilience, Rights & Respectful Relationships: 

In Grade 5/6 Byron this week, we have been identifying common problems that young people around their age would encounter. We have been practising some creative thinking approaches to addressing these problems. 

In our activity we have practised our lateral thinking skills by working out what different types of advice might be given from different perspectives. It is always helpful to look at a problem from many angles before deciding how to act. 

In the activity, our students were given a pre-prepared list of scenarios. In small groups (advice panels), students were allocated a ‘role’ and they helped to prepare a volunteer from their group to act out this role on the panel.  The panel roles included a doctor, movie star, grandparent, sports coach, hair dresser and psychologist.

The challenge students faced was to consider what the advice may be, from the perspective of that role. It was often found that it was not the same as their own personal advice. Students reflected on the importance of the advice given from the varying panel roles, and the importance of seeking help or advice from others.
