Respectful Relationships
This term the students are exploring help seeking strategies through the Respectful Relationships education program.
Our school student wellbeing data suggests that as students get older, they are less likely to talk to someone about how they are feeling.
To help us understand and explore this data in more depth, we have invited students from across prep to six to form a Student Voice Committee (SVC).
The SVC consists of one student representative from each grade across the school. The students have started to look at the data with their class and begin conversations about what they notice and why they think this data is reflecting this.
As part of our ‘Help Seeking’ topic this term, we hope to help empower students to know when and how to seek help. Our SVC is also a way for us to find out what some of the barriers are for students to share their worries with someone they trust.
It is through inviting students to have a voice and feel part of the decisions made around our school that we hope to support students in feeling more comfortable to use the help seeking strategies taught this term.
It is a great time to talk to your child about who are trusted people they can talk to when they are faced with challenges and how they can seek help when they need it.

Every year, all schools in Australia participate in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD).
The NCCD process requires schools to identify information already available in the school about supports provided to students with disability. The NCCD will have no direct impact on your child and your child will not be involved in any testing process.
The school will provide data to the Australian Government in such a way that no individual student will be able to be identified – the privacy and confidentiality of all students is ensured.
