RRRR Curriculum at Glengala Primary School

At Glengala Primary School, we teach the Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships (RRRR) curriculum to help our students develop important social and emotional skills. This program supports children in learning how to build positive friendships, manage their feelings, and understand their rights and responsibilities.

What does RRRR cover?

• Resilience: Helping students bounce back from challenges and develop confidence.
  
  
• Rights and Respect: Teaching students to respect themselves and others, and understand their rights at school and in the community.
  
  
• Respectful Relationships: Guiding students to build healthy, respectful friendships and solve problems peacefully.
  
  

How is RRRR taught?

Students participate in weekly lessons in their classrooms, where they explore different topics through discussions, activities, and role-playing. These lessons provide a safe space for students to share their thoughts and learn from each other.

The 8 Topics of the RRRR Curriculum

At Glengala Primary School, our students engage with the RRRR curriculum, which focuses on developing essential social and emotional skills. The eight key topics are:

1. Emotional Literacy – Understanding and expressing emotions effectively.
   
   
2. Personal and Cultural Strengths – Recognising individual and cultural strengths to build confidence and respect.
   
   
3. Positive Coping – Developing strategies to manage stress and challenges.
   
   
4. Problem Solving – Enhancing critical thinking to resolve conflicts and make decisions.
   
   
5. Stress Management – Learning techniques to handle pressure and maintain wellbeing.
   
   
6. Help-Seeking – Encouraging students to seek support when needed.
   
   
7. Gender Norms and Stereotypes – Exploring how gender expectations affect behaviours and relationships.
   
   
8. Positive Gender Relations – Promoting respectful and healthy relationships across genders.
   
   

These topics are taught in the classroom to help students build skills that support their social, emotional, and respectful relationships development.

Why is RRRR important?

Learning these skills early helps students grow into confident, caring, and responsible individuals. It also contributes to a positive and supportive school environment where everyone feels valued and safe.
