Respectful Relationships
Lake Bolac College is pleased to announce that we will be a Lead School in the roll out of the Departments Respectful Relationships initiative. The Respectful Relationships initiative is being put in place to make a change to family violence in the future by utilising the education setting. It is known that the education setting plays an important role and can influence cultural change. The approach will further build a culture promoting respect and equity.
Evidence shows that schools can play a powerful role for change in the future. We as a school community will play an integral role over the years to come in assisting with making the change. Embedding the program is key to preventing family violence in the long term. The children are the future and by rolling out this initiative they will see continuous change. Lake Bolac College is pleased to be a part of the initiative.
