Building Relationships

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.​
