LOST PROPERTY

Please ensure all school clothes, books and personal property are clearly labelled with the student’s name.  Many items are not returned to their rightful owners because they are not labelled correctly or clearly.

FAMILY PLANNING VICTORIA 

On Monday 8 December, Family Planning Victoria came to McKinnon to talk to our Year 7 students.  Their talk involved sex education but more importantly discussed issues that, this particular age group, felt are important (or will be in the years to come).  Puberty, anatomy, relationships and dating were touched on as well as respect for self and others.

The groups were gender based to allow for open discussion with minimal embarrassment of what can be a sensitive subject.

Family Planning Victoria presents these talks to our Year 7 group annually and the feedback from staff and students is always positive.
