Co-creating Relational School Cultures

A big warm whole-hearted welcome to you all and thank you for taking the time to explore our CONNECT RP website.

The intention of CONNECT RP is to facilitate, nurture and empower those seeking to grow relationships through empathy and connection; embodying and modelling the restorative philosophy and its everyday relational practices. This honours the understanding that we are profoundly relational, interconnected and inherently good.

 

Supporting educators to move from this restorative intention to living the everyday relational practices is our passion. This website aims to light the way for those seeking to understand the restorative philosophy and to explore their own journey as an individual, as a member of a team or as a whole school community.


The principles that underpin this philosophy aim to build positive relationships, create caring cultures and cultivate connected communities where we feel seen, where we can flourish and where we co-create relational learning communities.

FOUNDATION PRINCIPLES OF CONNECT RP

RESTORATIVE PRACTICE


Positive

Relationships

We are profoundly relational. We flourish in environments when we feel seen and heard, where we know we matter.


We cultivate intentional spaces to connect, laugh and enjoy one another’s company!

Caring

Culture

Our values and actions align to create an operational relational culture. We seek the best in ourselves and others.

Connected Communities

We are interconnected.



This is the essence of UBUNTU and the restorative work we commit to.

UBUNTU LEARNING PLATFORM


Ubuntu is a South African word relating to our interconnectedness & our shared humanity. The UBUNTU Learning Platform seeks to honour such a compass and offers a complete range of supports, courses and resources to support educators, students, teams and whole school communities to breathe life into this philosophy, enabling implementation pathways that promote practice, leadership, growth and sustainability.
