The Respect Tree Pack is an interactive and engaging classroom display resource designed to foster respect, inclusivity, and positive behaviour. Students write what respect means to them on the provided leaves and attach them to the tree, creating a collaborative display. The pack includes both black-and-white and colour versions to suit different printing needs. This visual tool encourages meaningful discussions about classroom respect, kindness, and personal responsibility.
• Classroom Displays: Create a visual representation of respect by adding student-written leaves.
• Values Education Lessons: Use as part of a discussion on respect and positive behaviour.
• Collaborative Learning: Have students work together to develop class respect goals.
