Wellbeing & Engagement
Rangeview Primary School Awarded Lead School for the Rights, Resilience and Respectful Relationships (RRRR) Program.
At Rangeview Primary School we teach the Department of Education’s Rights, Resilience and Respectful Relationships curriculum from Foundation to Level 6. This curriculum has been designed to develop students' social, emotional and positive relationship skills. Efforts to promote social and emotional skills and positive gender norms in children and young people has been shown to improve health related outcomes and subjective wellbeing from childhood, through adolescence and into adulthood.
The Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships (RRRR) learning materials cover eight topics of Social and Emotional Learning across all levels of primary and secondary education:
Emotional Literacy
Personal strengths
Positive Coping
Problem Solving
Stress Management
Help Seeking
Gender and Identity
Positive Gender Relationships.
We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded the role of Lead School in the RRRR program for 2020. This means that we will be partnered with several other primary schools and secondary colleges and will lead them through their implementation of this wonderful initiative. We are very proud of our work in this wellbeing field and this is a department recognition of this commitment and of the outstanding work of our leaders, teachers and support staff to ensure its success.
We look forward to increasing our RRRR whole school program in 2020 and to supporting new schools as they begin to implement the model.

Colour Explosion
On Friday 25th October we celebrated the whole school major fundraiser Colour Explosion! The entire student body ran through an obstacle course which was littered with colour stations. The early morning thunder, starting gun rain and could not put a dampener on the excitement and incredible enthusiasm of the participants. A huge thank you to Heather Roche, Tracy Beckter and the whole Parents and Friends Committee for a fabulous event! It could not have been more successful. Thank you also to our wonderful Rangeview Staff – there were many who ran the course or assisted with obstacles, dancing and support and encouragement. These days are not possible without the combined efforts of the whole school.
Regardless of the amount of funds raised for the school – this was a sensational whole school wellbeing event.
Be the Kind Kid
Four of our Grade 6 students – Amelie W, Maddi P, Georgia H and Maggie D – have been working on a new mural at the school. These very talented and artistic students have painted the Be The Kind Kid mural in the breezeway between the senior toilet blocks.
Some kids are smarter than you
Some kids have cooler clothes than you
Some kids are better at sport than you
It doesn’t matter
You have your thing too
Be the kid who can get along
Be the kids who is generous
Be the kid who is happy for other people
Be the kid who does the right thing
Be the Kind Kid
Thank you to all four of the girls for their very hard work over the last few weeks and to Mrs Barr for her guidance and artistic leadership of this wellbeing project.
