Great Connections

GREAT Connections is a digital resource for teachers, aimed at Years 1 -6, which explores the relationships and connections the children have.   

There are 5 key areas that the resource focuses on, with a different topic discussed each day. These include relationships, friendships, family, community, gender and differences.
