Sexuality Health Curriculum at St Kilda Park Primary

During next term our school will be providing a classroom sexuality health program that focuses on physical, social, and emotional changes, protective behaviours and consent. 

Called 'Talking the Talk', the program has been developed by Vanessa Hamilton, a sexual health nurse and expert in the area of healthy, positive sexuality education..

The lessons will be taught by class teachers and contain age-appropriate content in line with the Australian Curriculum and focused on respectful relationships, consent and sexuality education.

This is the fifth year that we have worked with Vanessa to deliver this important learning at SKiPPS. We feel that it is important that young people receive factual information in this area to support their emerging understandings, rather than being exposed to potentially damaging and inaccurate information via other avenues.

The lessons will deliver age-appropriate content using a fact-based approach. A variety of materials will be used to deliver the content in a sensitive manner, including:

• Games
• Conversations

• Audio and visual media

   

St Kilda Park respects your family’s role in teaching Sexuality Education and hope that these lessons support and facilitate further conversations. 

If any families would like to discuss this program further or would rather their child did not take part in the program, they should email Neil Scott on neil.scott@education.vic.gov.au
