Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships

At Sebastopol Primary School, the Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships (RRRR) program is a whole-school approach that values the support and involvement of students, parents, families, and staff.

The RRRR program supports our school community to promote and model respect, positive attitudes, and positive behaviours, while teaching students how to build healthy relationships, resilience, and confidence.

Through participation in this program, students develop a strong understanding of what respectful relationships look like and feel like, recognise their rights and responsibilities within society, understand and value that everyone is unique, and identify the personal strengths and attributes they possess. Students also learn practical strategies they can implement and identify the supports available to help them navigate challenging situations.

At each year level, students explore the following areas:

Emotional Literacy: Developing the ability to recognise, understand, and use language to describe the emotional states of themselves and others.
Personal Strengths: Building a vocabulary to identify and understand strengths and positive qualities in themselves and others.
Positive Coping: Reflecting on coping strategies and expanding their repertoire of positive ways to respond to challenges.
Problem Solving: Learning a range of problem-solving techniques to address personal, social, and ethical dilemmas.
Stress Management: Developing strategies to manage stress and build resilience when facing challenges.
Help-Seeking: Understanding the importance of seeking technical, practical, social, or emotional support from trusted people.
Gender and Identity: Engaging in age-appropriate learning to understand and reflect on the influence of gender norms on attitudes and behaviours.
Positive Gender Relationships: Building respectful relationships and understanding the importance of acceptance, diversity, and inclusion.

The RRRR program at Sebastopol Primary School has strong links across many curriculum areas, including English and Health and Physical Education, supporting students to develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive both at school and in the wider community.
