Below are statements from the Australian Curriculum and QSA that directly align with the information, behaviour management strategies and therapeutic practices provided on this website.
Australian Curriculum
Personal and social capability

The capability involves students in a range of practices including recognising and regulating emotions, developing empathy for others and understanding relationships, establishing and building positive relationships, making responsible decisions, working effectively in teams, handling challenging situations constructively and developing leadership skills.
Cross-Curriculum Priorities
Sustainability - Sustainability will allow all young Australians to develop the knowledge, skills, values and world views necessary for them to act in ways that contribute to more sustainable patterns of living.
