Pos-Ed at BHPS

Throughout Week 3 we are going to combine the Character Strength of Wisdom with the PERMA element of "Meaning" and being aware of what we can do to live more sustainably.

Meaning involves belonging to a world bigger than our own. We can have more meaning in our lives by looking after and respecting the environment and doing things that make a positive difference. 

We can all reduce our waste by bringing food to school without packaging. We can pick up rubbish at school, on the beach, actually - everywhere! We can recycle and reuse and at home we can compost organic materials. Playing outside and appreciating all that nature has to offer can also contribute to a more meaningful life. 

People with wisdom are wise and understand what is important in life. Older people are said to be wise as they have lived through so many different experiences. People with wisdom are often understanding and have a bank of knowledge or learning from the past that they use to choose from. They think before they speak or offer advice. The Lorax is an example of a wise, thoughtful character who respects the environment and "speaks for the trees".

Respectful Relationships at Barwon Heads PS

At Barwon Heads PS we teach the Respectful Relationships (Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships) curriculum.

The resources have been developed by experts from Deakin University and the University of Melbourne. These age-appropriate resources support curriculum delivery and include lesson plans and activities that help students learn and practice social skills and apply them in a positive way to learning, life and relationships.

The materials cover eight social and emotional learning topics to support the delivery of respectful relationships content through the Victorian curriculum. 

The resources support a whole of school approach to creating equal and respectful attitudes, behaviours, structures and practices across the school culture and ethos.​​ 

The Respectful Relationships program supports schools to promote and model respect, positive attitudes and behaviours. In essense, It teaches our children how to build healthy relationships, resilience and confidence.
