Respectful Relationships -Term 4 Focus- Positive Gender Relations
This term, all students at Rochester Primary School will be exploring the topic ‘Positive Gender Relations’ using age-appropriate teaching and learning materials. Activities within this topic focus on building an understanding of the effects of violence and focus on the standards associated with respectful relationships. Students will be developing the skills needed to solve problems, set boundaries within their relationships, and play an active role in practicing safe and respectful behaviours in family, peer, community and online relationships.
For example-
Foundation – Sharing the play space and equipment.
Year 1/2 – Creating a gender friendly classroom.
Year 3/4 – Rights and Responsibilities.
Year 5/6 – Understanding power relations.
Throughout the initiative, students will build their emotional literacy and resilience, as well as learning resilience strategies and ways to cope with stress in a positive way. All of the lessons are curated for each year level, meaning that students are introduced to appropriate themes and ideas in a sensitive and fun way.
