As per the College calendar, next week True Relationships will be presenting to our Year 7 students as part of our Wellbeing program. The topics for discussion follow on from the work already covered, or to be covered, in Health and PE classes as mandated by the Australian Curriculum. Year 7s will be exploring puberty and reproduction.
Two sessions will run at the same time with the boys and girls being presented to separately. Topics of discussion include physical, social, and emotional changes of puberty and strategies to help manage changes, puberty as part of the reproductive process and how reproduction works, peer pressure and how it might feel to be different from your peers, how students can support each other and where to go for help.
These presentations may open up topics of discussion at home and provide you with the opportunity to discuss the issues raised. You can access additional information and resources at: https://www.true.org.au/shop#!/Parents-&-carers/c/18053019
The recent focus on improving the wearing of jewellery by our students has been a great success. Students were commended at Assembly this week for their improvements. We will now be focusing on blazers, hats, ties, and ribbons. Please talk with your child about the expectations below. Infringements will be given to students who are not meeting these expectations.
