Year 9 Community Day

Year 9 Reflection Day

On Friday June 2 Year 9 took part in a reflection day. The focus of the day was on the topics of relationships, sex, self-worth and personal identity. It is important for young people to fully grasp the importance of the gift of relationships and sex and to treat themselves with the dignity they deserve. Today our young people receive so many mixed messages about this topic and can be unaware or confused about the precious gift they hold. The presenters from Real Talk delivered this message in a fun and interactive way whilst being real and honest. They were really encouraging the group to make healthy choices that show respect for others and themselves. The Year 9 students participated in some group activities, listened to the guest presenters and had some time for quiet reflection. At the end of the day I hope the students took with them the message that they are all a precious gift, they were all created for a purpose and that they should treat themselves and others with dignity.
