Fullness of Life For All

Sexuality Education

This term students from Foundation to Grade 6 will be taking part in our Sexuality Education Program which consists of nine developmentally appropriate lessons, for each level.  This program fits within the Health and Physical Education learning area of the Victorian Curriculum and also has links with the Doctrinal Concepts in our Religious Education 'Awakenings' Program.

 

Below is the list of topics explored in each year level. You may get questions or comments regarding these topics when your children come home each day. 

 

If you have any concerns or questions about the program, please contact your child’s teacher.
