Learning and Teaching

RRRR Program

Our Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships program aims to develop students’ social, emotional and positive relationship skills.  At each year level the core elements of the RRRR program are embedded into the classroom curriculum through PE and Health or Explore and Amplify. We also offer extra-curricular opportunities to promote social and emotional skills and positive gender norms in young people to improve health and wellbeing related outcomes. Our Respectful Relationships Program is led by our Respectful relationships Coordinator - Sandra Middleton. 

This semester, we are very pleased to be able to offer the following incursions free of charge to our Year 8 and 9 students.

Year 8 One-Day Incursion

Thu 25 August  

Option 1: Year 8 SEED full day program is an interactive, engaging and empowering program for Girls (and transgender and non-binary students).  The SEED’s experienced educators utilise a variety of mediums and teaching techniques including role-play, art therapy, music and movement, to ensure that all students are engaged and learning throughout each session.  Building emotional intelligence and resilience, SEED Workshops teach girls to take control of their own lives, and to realise their full potential.

Or Option 2: Year 8 Realising my Potential is a whole day program for boys run by trained facilitators from The Man Cave organisation. The program supports boys to create their own unique version of healthy masculinity. They explore their personal identity, their unique strengths, how to care for themselves and what their values are, which all add up to them understanding how they can reach their full potential. In the full-day workshop, boys will:

• Learn how gender stereotypes impact their attitudes and behaviour
• Meet our diverse male and non-binary facilitators
• Learn to constructively express their thoughts and feelings
• Connect to their values and strengths
• Leave with tools and resources to support their personal wellbeing
