Wellbeing

Our Respectful Relationship topics for this term are as follows: 

1. Emotional Literacy 

Emotional literacy can be defined as the ability to understand ourselves and other people. It includes the ability to understand, express and manage our own emotions, build empathy, and to respond appropriately to the emotions of others. 

Students will learn to:

• Understand their own emotions and how their body responds
• Express how they feel in various forms
• Learn about perspective and the feelings of others
• Develop appropriate response strategies when interacting with others

1. Personal Strengths 

Personal strengths teaches students vocabulary to use when discussing their personal qualities and seeing those in others. Students learn to find opportunities where they can utilise their strengths to positively contribute and benefit others. 

Students will learn to:

• Talk about qualities which improve academic, behaviour and wellbeing outcomes
• Focus on strengths when recognising challenges 
• Self reflect to find their inner strengths
