Respectful Relationships

Victoria University Collage is implementing the Rights, Resilience and Respectful Relationships (RRRR) Program.

RRRR was created from the recommendations from the Royal Commission into Family Violence in 2015, which found that schools have a critical role in creating a culture of respect. This change in culture challenges the narrative of Family Violence now, and in the future.

RRRR is a program which will be embedded in the school community and culture, and is a core component in the curriculum. This approach leads to positive outcomes for students’ academic outcomes, mental health, classroom behaviours and relationships between teachers and students.

The RRRR learning materials cover 8 topics of Social Emotional Learning including:

Emotional Literacy
Personal Strengths
Positive Coping
Problem Solving
Stress Management
Help-Seeking
Gender and Identity
Positive Gender Relations

Over the next few months, you will be receiving information about the 8 topics along with services that can support families experiencing family violence and conflict. If you have any questions about RRRR, please email Bronwyn.Anderson@education.vic.gov.au.
