Year 3 & 4 Health - Diversity, Relationships & Stereotypes Unit - Australian Curriculum

Empower your Year 3 and 4 students to build respectful relationships, develop empathy, challenge stereotypes and value diversity in this engaging 10-lesson Health unit aligned to the Australian Curriculum Version 9. Across a full term of learning, students explore how respect, inclusion and understanding their own heritage positively influence wellbeing, relationships and classroom communities.

This comprehensive unit explicitly teaches students how stereotypes influence choices and actions, how valuing diversity strengthens wellbeing, and how to apply personal and social skills to build and maintain positive relationships, all through meaningful, interactive learning experiences.

An alternative WA Curriculum planner (2026+) is also included, making this unit ideal for Western Australian teachers preparing for the new requirements.
