Social Emotional Learning ~

Resilience Rights and Respectful Relationships (RRRR)

The RRRR Program is a program taught in government and Catholic schools and many independent schools from Prep to Year 10. Respectful Relationships focuses on treating everyone with respect and dignity. It is taught as part of the Personal and Social Capability and Health and Physical Education areas of the Victorian Curriculum.

The supporting RRRR Program teaching and learning materials have been developed by world-leading experts from the University of Melbourne. These age-appropriate resources align to the Victorian Curriculum and include lesson plans and activities that help students learn and practise social skills, develop emotional literacy and self-management skills and apply them in a positive way to learning, life and relationships.

The RRRR resources cover eight topics for each level.

Emotional Literacy
Personal and Cultural Strengths
Positive Coping
Problem Solving
Stress Management
Help Seeking
Gender and Identity
Positive Gender Relationships.

Across the school, the delivery of the TRP curriculum runs in conjunction with Rights, Resilience and Respectful Relationships (RRRR) resource as a part of our holistic approach to wellbeing.

Attendance ~

Being at school every day is the single most important part of your child’s education. Students learn new things at school every day. Attending and participating in school will help your child develop academically, socially, and emotionally.

By attending school every day, students have the opportunity to engage with their peers, participate in classroom discussions, and benefit from the guidance and support of our dedicated teachers.

Research consistently shows students who attend school regularly are more likely to achieve academic success, develop important social skills and build a strong foundation for their future.

Regular attendance plays a significant role in establishing positive habits and routines that are essential for academic growth and personal development. When students miss school, they not only miss out on valuable learning opportunities but also risk falling behind in their studies and building social connections with peers.

As partners in your child's education, we urge you to prioritise regular school attendance and ensure your child is present in school every day. There are no safe numbers of days for missing school!

We are here to help – if you’re having attendance issues with your child, we ask you to contact your child’s classroom teacher so we can work in partnership to address issues or concerns your child may have which may impact on their ability to attend school.

In Victoria, school is compulsory for children between the ages of 6-17.

A reasonable excuse to be absent from school includes:

Illness /Injury
Bereavement
Religious event

You are legally required to ensure your child attends school every day or you must provide an explanation for their absence. You can do this through calling the school office on 54841797 or by logging your child’s absence on PAM.

In order for schools to implement the same day notification requirement, it’s essential you provide the school with your most up-to-date contact details.
