The Sexual Health Education program called Talk About It is presented by specialist educators from Life Education Victoria and will be held on Monday 7th February and Tuesday 8th February, 2022. Talk About It is an age-appropriate personal development program for students in Years 5-6.

The program is divided into the following modules:

Years 5 & 6

• Who Am I?
• Welcome to Puberty
• Evolving Friendships

Grade 6 only

• The Journey of Human Reproduction

The Talk About It program is facilitated by specialist sexual health educators who work in partnership with the classroom teachers. The teaching framework is student-centred, interactive and ensures all content is delivered in a sensitive, factual and age-appropriate manner.

The Talk About It program is a new program that is delivered separately from the rest of the Life Education Victoria programs.  The specialist teachers will visit our school for the two days to work solely with the Grade 5 and 6 students and their teachers. We understand that engaging in this program at the beginning of the school year fits really well with building and maintaining respectful relationships as well as understanding and respecting themselves and others as they enter or approach puberty. It also fits really well with our School Wide Expectations (SWE).

The cost of this program will be deducted from the Excursion Levy. It is considered to be an ‘incursion’ as it is held within the school grounds.  Therefore, there is no additional cost on top of what is already included in the annual school fees. The cost of this incursion for Grade 5 students is $36 and for Grade 6 students it will be $40.
