Respectful Relationships
Prep
Prep students focused on recognising positive actions such as helping and sharing. They reflected on the importance of kind behaviours and how small actions can make a big difference in friendships.
Year 2
Year 2 learners revisited their prior Respectful Relationships learning. They reflected on what they had already discovered about kindness, respect, empathy and being a good friend, and considered how they can continue applying these skills in their daily interactions.
Year 3
Year 3 students explored strategies to resolve conflict in positive ways. Their lessons included:
- Identifying common causes of conflict
- Using respectful words and actions when disagreements arise
- Practising simple strategies to solve problems and rebuild friendships
Year 4
Year 4 learners extended their understanding of conflict resolution by considering more complex situations. They explored:
- How different perspectives can lead to conflict
- The importance of listening and compromise
- Strategies for solving disagreements fairly and respectfully
Year 5
Year 5 students began learning about the concepts of permission and consent. Their focus included:
- Understanding what it means to give and receive permission
- Recognising the importance of asking before using or sharing something
- Respecting when others say “no”
Year 6
Year 6 learners also studied permission and consent but with an added layer of maturity as they prepare for high school. They discussed:
- What consent looks and sounds like in different contexts (friendships, group work, sharing belongings)
- The importance of clear communication and respect for boundaries
- How to respond appropriately if permission is not given
