At Glenroy West Primary School, we're committed to fostering Respectful Relationships, Rights, and Responsibilities (RRRR) to promote respect, positive attitudes, and positive behaviours within our school community. We strive to teach our students essential skills for building healthy relationships, resilience, and confidence.

Our community values respect, equality, and the fair treatment of everyone. By embedding these principles into our students' education and throughout our entire community, we encourage positive attitudes and behaviours. This approach leads to improved academic outcomes, mental health, classroom behaviour, and positive relationships between teachers, students, and others.

Respectful Relationships education is a core component of the Victorian Curriculum. The Resilience, Rights, and Respectful Relationships teaching and learning materials support schools in delivering this curriculum. At Glenroy West Primary School, we integrate the RRRR curriculum to ensure the best outcomes in cultivating positive behaviours and relationships.

The Victorian Curriculum encompasses learning about Respectful Relationships in both Health and Physical Education and Personal and Social Capability. In Health and Physical Education, students develop the knowledge, understanding, and skills to strengthen their sense of self and build safe, respectful relationships. In Personal and Social Capability, students learn to recognise and regulate emotions, develop empathy for others, and establish a framework for positive relationships.

We are also proud to incorporate the Bounce Back program into our curriculum. Bounce Back is a comprehensive social and emotional learning program that supports students to develop resilience, well-being, and social skills. This program complements our RRRR initiatives by providing additional resources and strategies to help students bounce back from setbacks, manage their emotions, and build positive relationships.

Key benefits of the Bounce Back program include:

• Enhancing students' coping skills and resilience.
• Improving mental health and well-being.
• Teaching practical strategies for managing stress and adversity.
• Promoting a positive school culture and environment.

Together, the RRRR and Bounce Back programs pave the way towards respect, equality, and lasting change, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential. By integrating these programs, Glenroy West Primary School is committed to creating a supportive and nurturing environment where students can thrive both academically and personally.
