The Wonder of Living - Sexuality Education

The wonder of Living is a value-based, family-orientated program. It has been carefully researched and produced by Open Doors, an acknowledged leader in the development of quality, realistic educational programs on child and adolescent relationships and health and sexuality.  It brings the concepts to life and provides accurate, sensitive explanations of the questions every child needs to ask.

It gives support to the rights and responsibilities of parents… respects the privacy of children and young adolescents… whilst carefully retaining the essence of ideal parental teaching that sexuality education is primarily about relationships and not body functioning.

The wonder of Living is a multi-purpose program. It bridges the gap between home and classroom. It can be used as parent education… parent/child presentations at school, church or community group gatherings… and in the classroom – to single-sex, or mixed-sex groups. Throughout the series, the focus is on family and home.

The program also covers the requirements outlined in the Victorian Curriculum:

• Investigate resources to manage changes and transitions associated with puberty

We are happy to inform our 5/6 families that we will be holding a Wonder of Living family (parent/child) information session on October 26th 7:15 pm. We have decided to choose the online forum for the convenience of families. 

The link for the meeting will be sent on Wednesday morning.

The family night will be followed by puberty sessions for Years 5 and 6 during class time

• physical changes for boys and girls and why they happen; emotional ups and downs and how to handle them, finding support when you need it, respect for self and others.

We are offering the Wonder of Living program to all families of Year 5/6 students.
