Respectful Relationships

At Lockwood Primary, we are committed to creating a safe and inclusive school environment where all students feel respected, supported and empowered. That’s why we proudly implement the Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships (RRRR) program – an evidence-based, whole-school approach to building social, emotional and relationship skills.

Respectful Relationships is a whole-school approach to the prevention of family and gender- based violence. It aims to create a culture of respect and equality now, to change the story of family violence for future generations.

How it works at LPS

At LPS, Respectful Relationships lessons are taught through an integrated approach along with The Resilience Project. The materials span eight key topics designed to develop students’ social and emotional learning from Foundation to Year 6.

Topics 1–6 focus on building emotional literacy, personal strengths, positive coping, problem- solving, stress management and help-seeking.

Topics 7–8 promote respectful relationships through learning about gender and identity and positive gender relationships. Together, these eight topics empower students with the skills and knowledge to strengthen their mental health, wellbeing and social awareness – laying the foundation for a safer, more respectful community both now and into the future.

Why RRRR at our school?

We believe that teaching respect starts early. By embedding RRRR across our curriculum and daily routines, we aim to:

  • Strengthen student wellbeing and social skills
  • Support safe and respectful relationships among peers
  • Build a culture of inclusion, empathy and equality
  • Empower students to become confident, kind and respectful community members
