Respectful Relationships
Our inclusion philosophy at Beaconsfield Upper is broad ranging and diverse, including those with different abilities, cultures, genders, and relationships. We believe all students and members of our school community should be included, accepted, and celebrated.
Currently at BUPS we are implementing Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships program across all year levels, which is a government initiative. This includes eight topics covering Emotional Literacy, Personal Strengths, Positive Coping, Problem Solving, Stress Management, Help Seeking, Gender and Identity and Positive Gender Relations, which complements our Social and Emotional program.
The Respectful Relationships whole-school approach recognises that schools are a workplace, a community hub, and a place of learning. Everyone involved in our school community deserves to be respected, valued, and treated equally.
There are eight unit topics which are taught across a two year period. These include:
-
- Emotional Literacy
- Personal Strengths
- Positive Coping
- Problem Solving
- Stress Management
- Help Seeking
- Gender and Identity
- Positive Gender Relationships.
The Respectful Relationships whole-school approach recognises that schools are a workplace, a community hub, and a place of learning. Everyone involved in our school community deserves to be respected, valued, and treated equally.
We know that changes can be achieved when positive attitudes, behaviours and equality are lived across the school community, and when classroom learning is reinforced by what is modelled in our school community.
