Relationships-Be Yourself

Students explore how to express their thoughts and feelings respectfully and how to be assertive when in uncomfortable situations. They explore the influence of the media in how we view ourselves and analyse the reality of these messages. Students also explore how to make things right when mistakes are made and the importance of learning from these.

Philosophy

We look at developing skills like critical and creative thinking, communication, empathy, and logical reasoning. Students learn to reflect on their beliefs, work collaboratively, and apply ethical concepts like fairness and justice to real-life situations. Students learn these skills through games, role play and mini projects.
