Written response: Respectful relationships
Summary of task
The class undertook a 15-lesson unit of work on relationships and sexuality. The teacher worked with students to: explore, discuss and understand a range of sexual health and relationship issues; develop a range of life skills; and access current, relevant information including where to go for help. Through discussion, debate, role-play, reflection and research, students explored the characteristics of respectful relationships, the personal qualities and skills that are needed to be a good friend, and help-seeking resources and contexts.
Students were asked to use what they had learnt about relationships and sexuality, as well as their own experience of respectful relationships, to reflect as deeply as they could on the following four factors: feelings and emotions, personal qualities and strengths, wellbeing, and help seeking.
This assessment task relates to the focus area: relationships and sexuality.
