Respect is a Two-Way Street

Tune in to Episode 8, Season 6 of the Grow Your Mind Podcast: Respect is a Two-Way Street.

This episode is about finding the courage to stand up for what you believe in, fix what you think is wrong, or, at the very least, be part of the solution, not the problem. With relatable playground and sporting dramas and a wholesome classroom discussion, this is a fantastic episode to boost culture at home and at school. Play this episode in the classroom or in the car. There are plenty of pausing opportunities to discuss some of the themes.

This series brings respectful relationships to life through real school scenarios: students explore respect on the playground, the bus, in friendships, online, and around gender, supported by colouring-in sheets and printouts, plus a special conversation with former NRL player and author Luke Bateman.

Hosted by children, with children's ideas and voices shaping every episode, this age-appropriate, curriculum-aligned series runs under 10 minutes per episode, supports the Australian Curriculum and NSW PDHPE Syllabus, and helps meet respectful relationships education requirements, no extra planning required, just press play and discuss.

This lesson plan supports students to listen to the podcast, reflect, and develop social-emotional skills.

Learning intentions
