Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

We explicitly teach the Respectful Relationships Program. This program focuses on building respect, positive attitudes and behaviours. It teaches students how to build healthy relationships, resilience and confidence.

A positive school culture as well as the explicit teaching of Social and Emotional learning enables each child at St Brendan’s to:

  • learn to recognise and manage emotions and care about others

  • make good decisions, behave ethically and responsibly

  • develop positive relationships, and avoid negative behaviours

  • develop resilience and problem solving skills to achieve important social/life tasks

  • develop and maintain friendships
