Respectful Relationships
Respectful Relationships Education – What We’re Learning (Week 9/10)
Year 5 – 6
In Years 5 and 6, students are exploring gender stereotyping, discussing how societal expectations can influence choices, interests, and opportunities. They will learn to challenge unfair stereotypes and develop confidence in expressing their individuality.
Year 3 - 4
In Years 3 and 4, students are examining gender stereotyping, focusing on how assumptions about gender roles can affect friendships, activities, and emotions. They will practice identifying and questioning stereotypes in everyday life.
Year 2
This week, Year 2 students are exploring what it means to be responsible and why it’s an important part of growing up. They will learn that responsibility is about making good choices, taking care of things, and helping others.
By understanding responsibility, students develop independence, trustworthiness, and a sense of community. They will reflect on how their responsibilities change as they grow and how their actions impact others. This learning encourages them to take ownership of their choices at home, school, and in the wider world.
Year 1
In Years 1 and 2, students are learning about safe behavior. They will be taught to recognize their personal boundaries and how to seek help from a trusted adult.
Prep
In Prep, students are learning to recognize positive actions, such as helping, sharing, and including others. They will reflect on acts of kindness and discuss how their words and actions can make others feel. This helps build a strong foundation for respectful and caring relationships.
