The checklist gives students a practical framework for discussing respect, trust, repair, and communication. That supports health learning focused on relationship quality rather than vague advice.

🀝 Relationships πŸ’¬ Communication πŸ“Š Phases 2-4

Useful when students need a clear language set for discussing how people should treat one another in real contexts.

Strong fit
Students recognise boundaries, consent, and safety as part of everyday hauora and relationship learning.

How this handout aligns

The yellow-flag and safety sections make it easier for kaiako to teach boundary literacy and support-seeking explicitly. The task covers online and offline contexts, which improves its classroom relevance.

πŸ›‘οΈ Safety 🚦 Boundaries and consent πŸ“± Online and offline

Strongest when the learning sequence needs practical, age-appropriate language around unsafe or unhealthy patterns.

Strong fit
Students practise respectful problem-solving, help-seeking, and repair when relationship challenges emerge.

How this handout aligns

The sentence starters and next-step framing guide students toward communication, repair, and appropriate support rather than silence or escalation. That supports classroom usefulness and pastoral value.

🧭 Managing self 🀝 Relating to others πŸ›Ÿ Help-seeking

Helpful when kaiako want relationship learning to lead to action and safer decision-making, not only discussion.

Supporting fit
Students understand that relationship wellbeing is part of wider hauora, not a separate social skill box.

How this handout aligns

Because the checklist sits inside a hauora context, students can see how respect, belonging, stress, and safety affect the wider whare. That strengthens the connection between relationship learning and wellbeing learning.
