Respect Tree

The Respect Tree Pack is an interactive and engaging classroom display resource designed to foster respect, inclusivity, and positive behaviour. Students write what respect means to them on the provided leaves and attach them to the tree, creating a collaborative display. The pack includes both black-and-white and colour versions to suit different printing needs. This visual tool encourages meaningful discussions about classroom respect, kindness, and personal responsibility.

•    Classroom Displays: Create a visual representation of respect by adding student-written leaves.
•    Values Education Lessons: Use as part of a discussion on respect and positive behaviour.
•    Collaborative Learning: Have students work together to develop class respect goals.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to make connections between our emotions, feelings and how we respond to them as actions or reactions.
  • We are learning that we have some control over our emotional wellbeing, and can use a range of strategies to understand and improve our mood.
  • We are learning to investigate how emotional responses vary in depth and strength by recognising and comparing different emotional reactions to various situations.
  • We are learning to describe and apply strategies to use in situations that make us feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
  • We are learning to examine the influence of emotional responses on behaviour and relationships by recognising and reflecting on how our feelings impact our actions and interactions.
