Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships

We pride ourselves on a whole school focus on our school values of respect, responsibility and resilience. Respectful Relationships education is a fundamental aspect of the Victorian Curriculum spanning from foundation to year 12, aiming to instill a culture of respect and equality within schools. The Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships (RRRR) learning materials provide teachers with resources to cultivate students' social, emotional, and relational skills across primary and secondary levels. These efforts have demonstrated benefits in enhancing health outcomes, subjective well-being, and mitigating antisocial behaviours, including gender-related violence. The RRRR curriculum encompasses eight key topics of Social and Emotional Learning, addressing Emotional Literacy, Personal strengths, Positive Coping, Problem Solving, Stress Management, Help Seeking, Gender and Identity, and Positive Gender Relationships throughout all educational stages.

School-wide positive behaviour support framework

At Clayton North Primary School, we teach and practise SWPBS. School-wide positive behaviour support (SWPBS) is a framework that brings together school communities to develop positive, safe, supportive learning cultures.

SWPBS assists schools to improve social, emotional, behavioural and academic outcomes for children and young people.

When SWPBS is implemented well, teachers and students have more time to focus on relationships and classroom instruction. Students and staff benefit from:

• increased respectful and positive behaviour
• increased time focused on instruction
• improved social-emotional wellbeing
• positive and respectful relationships among students and staff
• increased adoption of evidence-based instructional practices
• a predictable learning environment with improved perceptions of safety and increased attendance.

SWPBS can be implemented in any school setting to support students from Foundation through to Year 12. The framework supports schools to identify and successfully implement evidence-based whole-school practices to enhance learning outcomes for children and young people.
