Respectful Relationships

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

Over the next few months, information will be provided on how to create respect and equality through social emotional learning.

Personal Strengths

Personal Strengths are positive personality traits, knowledge and abilities.  It is important that children and young people have a vocabulary to help them recognise and understand strengths and positive qualities in themselves and others.  Through identifying and using individual strengths, student wellbeing can be promoted through strength-based approaches which highlight positive behaviour and achievement. 

There are many ways you can help recognise and understand personal strengths at home:

• Praise your child or other members of your household by identifying their personal strengths:

‘Wow, that work you did was really creative.  That is a quality that I really admire in you.’

• Discuss people that you admire and identify character strengths:

‘I really like [person]. They appear honest and fair, and they are characteristics that I admire’.
