Respectful Relationships and Consent Education
Empowering Our Young Learners
At Exeter Primary we are committed to a safe and supportive environment for all our students.
Respectful Relationships and Consent Education (RRCE) is a key part of this and aims to give children the knowledge and skills they need to develop healthy, respectful relationships.
What is RRCE?
RRCE is part of our educational program. It focuses on teaching children how to:
- Build healthy friendships
- Recognise and manage emotions
- Understand consent and personal boundaries
- Challenge gender stereotypes
We are fortunate to have Nurse Nettie to assist in delivering some of this vital content across our school. This week she has started sessions with our Kinder to Grade 2 students, with Grades 3-6 students beginning later this term.
More information
To find out more about what your child will be learning through RRCE, we will be having an information session later this term. More details will be provided soon.
You can also visit www.respectfulrelationships.education.tas.gov.au to view the teaching and learning packages in detail. Together we can build a brighter, safer future for all our students.
Get Involved
Families and the wider community play an important role in reinforcing what is taught in the classroom.
We encourage you to have conversations at home about respect. The Australian Government’s Conversation Guide is a useful resource to help support you with this.
By working together, we can create a culture of respect and responsibility, both at school and at home.
If you have any questions, please contact the school.
