Real Talk Parenting Website

Our Extended Pastoral program draws lessons and resources from a number of different organisations. Each organisation has expertise in specific areas.

One such organisation we use for Extended Pastoral and our Reflection Days is Real Talk Education, who exist to help resource schools with Christian values-based materials that empower young people to live life to the full.

Real Talk is a global leader providing values-based presentations on the human person and human sexuality.

Real Talk has grown rapidly in part due to the massive need for the education they provide. Modern culture presents young people with many exciting opportunities, but there are also many new challenges, including the hyper-sexualisation of young people, the impact of the digital world, and the pressures on home life. A lack of formation in these areas can result in poor decision making, heartache, and mental illness.

Real Talk Education provide us with online lessons around the topics of:

Identity
Body Image
Character Strengths
Media and Technology
Healthy Relationships

All topics are presented through a Christian Values lens which includes respect and dignity of human life.

Parenting Resources

As part of our school’s subscription to Real Talk Education, the Real Talk team have given our school community one year FREE basic access to their Real Talk Parents site.

“Let the Real Talk team keep you up-to-date on what you need to know and provide you with a trusted place to go for many tough and important parenting topics. We specialise in helping caregivers foster healthy self-worth, respectful flourishing relationships and safety and wisdom in the online space.”

The site includes quick reference guides, conversation starters, printable resources, videos and curated links for parenting on the tough topics to do with relationships and eSafety.
