Reports
Teachers are busy writing mid-year reports. You will receive reports on July 2.
New Curriculum
The Department of Education and Training have introduced new content that is mandated to teach under the heading of Resilience, Rights & Respectful Relationships (RR&RR). You will encounter information coming home to introduce the topics currently. We have experienced some questions in regard to the content and encourage you to contact your classroom teacher, myself or Jacob for clarification. This content links directly to the Child Safe Standards (CSS) and is in full view for you to Google and read about. Please go to the DET website for further information https://www.vic.gov.au/respectful-relationships
Program background provided;
The Royal Commission into Family Violence identified the critical role that schools and early childhood education have in creating a culture of respect to change the story of family violence for future generations.
In 2016, respectful relationships education became a core component of the Victorian Curriculum from foundation to year 12, and is being taught in all government and Catholic schools and many independent schools.
Everyone in our community deserves to be respected, valued and treated equally. We know that changes in attitudes and behaviours can be achieved when positive attitudes, behaviours and equality are embedded in our education settings.
Respectful Relationships is about embedding a culture of respect and equality across our entire community, from our classrooms to staffrooms, sporting fields, fetes and social events. This approach leads to positive impacts on student’s academic outcomes, their mental health, classroom behaviour, and relationships between teachers and students.
Together, we can lead the way in saying yes to respect and equality, and creating genuine and lasting change so that every child has the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
Myths and facts of RR&RR are also available on the website link above.
