Building Relationships
Life is about Relationships: to self & others. At Oakhill Drive, we believe that positive relationships and wellbeing are linked and impact on each other.
Ways to build positive relationships are embedded into our school culture through our Positive Education Program.
Relationships are made up of 5 elements:
Trust - to believe that someone is good and honest and will not harm you, or that something is safe
Forgiveness- stop feeling angry or resentful towards someone) who has wronged you
Integrity- the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles
Hope- a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen
Compassion- a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune. Empathy in action.
Research shows that positive relationships lead to high levels of wellbeing, increased learning and the ability to flourish.
