Wellbeing

Dear Parents/Carers,

St Brendan’s Primary School is offering a Body Education Program for Year 5 and 6 students and their families. The session being offered is on 16th October at 7pm.

The programs offered aim to support parents in helping their children learn about aspects of human sexuality and present a valuable opportunity to discuss a variety of subjects in a safe and supported environment.

Grade 5-6: The Puberty Session

This session is for students and their families to prepare for the changes of puberty. The

common physical, social and emotional changes that are experienced by everyone will be

discussed (eg: pimples, growth spurt, body odour, shape, hair, voice), allowing time for

students to talk with their attending adults about management strategies. Then specific

changes are explained (sperm production, wet dreams, periods) and again, students have

the opportunity to discuss management strategies with their parents.

About Kelly Nash:

Kelly trained as a teacher in the 1980’s (so it’s probably just as well she has decided on

Sexuality Education and not Fashion Education!)

After many years working in schools as a teacher and in health promotion, including 3 years with the Royal Women’s Hospital health promotion unit and 7 years with Family Life

Victoria, Kelly started her own body education business. Kelly’s aim is to create a relaxed

and inclusive environment where her unique and fun facilitation style allows informal,

respectful learning to young people so that they may be empowered with knowledge and

understanding about their bodies, her greatest hope is that she is able to support the

children’s families in this important part of their education.
