Healesville Primary School implements that the Respectful Relationships Initiative, which teaches our children how to build healthy relationships, resilience, and confidence. It is all about embedding a culture of respect and equality across the entire school community. Our Respectful Relationships curriculum acknowledges that children of any age have challenges to overcome, teaching social and emotional skills appropriate to their age and
level of maturity. At Healesville Primary School, we teach the Respectful Relationships as a core component of the Victorian Curriculum, primarily centred around the Personal and Social Capability and Health and Physical Education
Curriculum.
As a school, we utilise the Resilience, Rights & Respectful Relationships teaching and learning materials developed by the University of Melbourne. These lessons are taught throughout the year & provide students with the opportunity to learn and practise social skills and apply them in a positive way to learning, life and relationships. These learning materials used are tailored to each year level from Foundation to year 12 and made sure all information is age-appropriate and grounded in evidence. They support teachers to deliver respectful relationships education in the classroom and complement our School Wide Positive Behaviour Program.

Teachers use their experience and knowledge to deliver this material in the most suitable way for their students. The following eight topics are covered for each year level:
Topic 1: Emotional Literacy
Topic 2: Personal Strengths
Topic 3: Positive Coping
Topic 4: Problem Solving
Topic 5: Stress Management
Topic 6: Help-Seeking
Topic 7: Gender and Identity
Topic 8: Positive Gender Relations
