Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships at CHPS

Resilience, Rights, and Respectful Relationships at CHPS 

Clifton Hill Primary School continues to support your children’s 

Health and Wellbeing through (amongst other things) the 

explicit teaching of the eight topics from the Resilience, Rights 

and Respectful Relationships program. 

These eight topics include: 

Each fortnight/month we will offer an insight into lessons from the program that your child/children may be involved in. Here we look at: 

Topic 7 - Gender and Identity (You may be able to discuss, or use aspects of these lessons at home.) 

AIMS 

Activities within this topic area will assist students to: 

● Reflect on their gendered identity 

● Develop an awareness of positive and negative gender norms 

● Challenge negative gender norms 

● Develop an appreciation of difference. 

● Analyse their multifaceted identities 

Research shows that children become aware of gender norms and make efforts to fit within gendered expectations by the time they are in kindergarten. 

As children learn about gender, they may also begin to enact sexist values, beliefs and attitudes. They may, for example, insist that some games are for boys and others for girls, and actively reject peers from certain games. This means that it is important to start work on building positive gender relationships within these early years.
