SubscribeFor our Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relations (RRRR) Education, Karingal Primary School will be developing students personal, social and emotional skills through a series of learning experiences. In 2023, all year levels will be completing the Resilience and Rights sections. Below is a listed the topics and some examples of the lessons that will be taught in different year levels.
Topic 1: Emotional Literacy: What emotions look like, sound like and feel like. (Foundation Level)
Topic 2: Personal Strengths: Learning our strengths and developing pride in ourselves. (Year 1/2)
Topic 3: Positive Coping: Learning about strong emotions and making strong apologies. (Year 3/4)
Topic 4: Problem Solving: Identify causes and effects of conflict and practise different strategies to defuse or resolve it. (Year 5/6)
Topic 5: Stress Management: Explore strategies to manage physical, social and emotional change and apply strategies to situations that make them feel uncomfortable or unsafe. (Year 3/4)
Topic 6: Help-Seeking: Practise solving interpersonal problems and who to seek help from when problems are too big to solve alone.(Year 1/2)
The Resilience and Rights components of the teaching and learning materials (Topics 1-6) help the students develop the essential social and emotional skills, knowledge and understandings they need to have before addressing the concepts in Topic 7&8 Respectful Relationships.
We will introduce the last 2 topics in 2024:
Gender Identity
Year 3/4: Exploring Gender Norms through literature. Students describe and compare the roles commonly given to males and females and identify gendered messages in traditional fairy tales.
Foundation Year: Anyone can choose: Learning about how boys and girls can do things regardless of their gender. ‘Girl’ toys and ‘boy’ toys aren’t they for everyone?
Positive Gender Relationships
Year 1/2: Gender-based violence: Some people will tolerate higher levels of violence because “boys will be boys” and it is important to set the same non-violent standards for both boys and girls.
Year 5/6: Understanding Power relations: learning about the unequal distribution of power in some relationships, when a person does not respect the rights or needs of the other.
If you have any further questions or would like more information on Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relations (RRRR) Education, please email or phone the school.
