Resilience, Rights, and Respectful Relationships

Resilience, Rights, and Respectful Relationships at Clifton Hill Primary School

Clifton Hill Primary School continues to support your children’s Health and Wellbeing through (among other things) the explicit teaching of the eight topics from the  Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships program. 

These eight topics include:

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

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

Topic 1 – Emotional Literacy 

(You may be able to use, or discuss, aspects of these lessons at home.)

AIMS:

Activities within this topic area will assist students to: 

• Recognise and identify their own emotions
• Describe the influence that people, situations and events have on their emotions
• Investigate how emotional responses vary in depth and strength 
• Understand how to interact positively with others in different situations

Research shows that students who participate in rigorously designed and well taught social and emotional learning programs demonstrate more positive social behaviour, are less likely to engage in risky and disruptive behaviour, and show improved academic outcomes. Collaborative learning activities help students to build their social skills. Building a large vocabulary for emotions helps to increase emotional literacy, build self-awareness and empathy for others.’ (Dept of Education and Training Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships Learning Material).
