Respect matters: Personal and Social Capability

Explore content

In developing and acting with personal and social capability, students recognise feelings and know how and when to help others. Students learn to show respect for and understand others’ perspectives, emotional states and needs. They learn to participate in positive, safe and respectful relationships, defining and accepting individual and group roles and responsibilities. Students interact effectively and respectfully with a range of adults and peers. They negotiate and communicate effectively with others; work in teams, positively contribute to groups and collaboratively make decisions; resolve conflict and reach positive outcomes.
