Classroom teachers attend all sessions of the program with the students so that they are aware of what has been taught and are familiar with the wording that has been used.  

It also enables the teacher to show support for students and helps them to answer any questions that you may have about the program.  

Please contact us with any questions or to discuss our program. 

You play an important role in teaching your child about bodies, keeping healthy, respectful relationships and safety. We can also help by giving your child the correct information at the right time. Your family and culture may have beliefs and values that you want to talk to your child about.  

Talking to your child/children may be challenging. You may need to start the conversation for them. It is important to keep lines of communication open. It is ok to take time to consider your response to a question rather than feeling you must answer straight away.  

If you don’t know the answer, you could find the answer on our website, under the Advice & Information section or download our sexual health App, Family Planning Tasmania. Alternatively, you can always contact us.

It is important that online safety remains an open, non-judgemental conversation between young people and the trusted adults in their life. We believe this will build their ability to help keep themselves and others safe online and give them the understanding of how and when to seek help when needed. 

Our lessons support students in developing strategies to keep them safe and to support their wellbeing in the digital space.

We share your concern about the sexualisation of young people. Research demonstrates that imposing adult models of sexual behaviour and sexuality on children and adolescents at developmentally inappropriate stages is harmful.  

In contrast, the information we provide is age-appropriate and focusses upon increasing the safety and health of young people which is a protective factor against sexualisation.  

Providing accurate and age-appropriate information helps young people to build the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to make healthy choices which in turn may reduce their vulnerability to abuse.
