Personal management and relationship skills are vital in all aspects of learning
and of life.
Students are most able to act in respectful and responsible ways when they
have learned and practiced a range of social, emotional and character
development skills.
Effective social, emotional and character development skills support academic
achievement in students and constructive engagement by staff, families and
communities.
Students learn best in a respectful, safe and civil school environment where
adults are caring role models.
Bullying/Harassment Prevention and safe school initiatives are most
sustainable when embedded systemically in a whole school Social, Emotional,
and Character Development
(SECD) programming.
