The programme includes puberty education alongside parts of our ‘Body Talk©‘ Programme looking at self esteem, body image, media awareness, critical thinking skills and more. For Year 7/8 additional components of cyber safety, ok/not ok – looking after self and media manners / anti-bullying are included.
Delivered over a full school day and designed at two levels for Yr 5/6 & Yr 7/8.
We meet with the parents for an hour (during an evening), prior to meeting with the children, to discuss with them the course outline, watch a clip of the DVD, answer questions etc.
The following day or some time later we provide a fun educational session for the students (meeting boys and girls separately initially before concluding the group together).
Topics included (but not limited to):
- Changes are normal in body & mind.
- Changes happen at different times for different people.
- Naming hormones and changes.
- Particular changes in boys & girls. Physical, social & emotional.
- How to manage changes.
