Moving in the Teens - Year 5 is an age-appropriate relationships and sexuality education program introducing students to the physical, emotional and social changes that occur with puberty. (3 x 90 minutes)

Moving in the Teens - Year 6 helps students prepare for secondary school by covering the physical, emotional and social changes that occur during puberty, encouraging students to reflect on how this affects their relationships and sense of self. (3 x 90 minutes)

Managing Menstruation - Years 3 to 6 empowers young girls with knowledge and confidence around their menstrual cycle allowing them to manage this critical time of transition with ease. (1 x 90 minutes)

Tricky Talks - Years 3 to 6 guides students with their trusted adults to have honest and open communication about the reproductive system, foetal development, puberty, consent and protective behaviours so they can navigate this time of development together. (2 x 60 minutes)

Choosing Well - Years 7 to 10 helps teenagers make informed decisions around their relationships and sexual health. It explores consent, sexuality, sexual health, conception and contraception at a time when healthy relationships are central to their overall development. (1 x 90 minutes)

Body Positivity - Years 7 to 10 explores what a healthy body is and how to maintain a positive body image. Through awareness of the media's role in creating stereotypes, students will understand how to appreciate all bodies including how to positively look after their own. (1 x 90 minutes)

Shades of Pornography - Years 7 to 10 helps students recognise what pornography is, explaining why it exists and how it is used. It also aims to demystify, exploring pornography as an industry and recognising it as fiction, highlighting the difference between pornography relationships and real-life relationships.

Costing is per program with a maximum number of students. In-person sessions are available in NSW.
