An important part of our Health Education and Personal and Social Development programmes is Sexual Health and Relationships Education.<\/p>\n
National Guidelines on Sexual Health Education recommend that within the Primary sector, such lessons should be taught within a context, exploring physical, emotional and social themes.<\/p>\n
Again this year, we plan to deliver lessons within this structure using a resource published by Positive Steps. This resource takes a holistic approach, with the lessons taking pupils through topics such as friendships and relationships, puberty and menstruation, decision making and self esteem and, for Primary 7 pupils, human reproduction.<\/p>\n
An effective school and parent partnership will enhance and enrich any Sexual Health programme that is undertaken.\u00a0 I would therefore like to invite you to an information evening to be held through Google Meet on Tuesday 23rd<\/sup> March<\/strong>, commencing at 6.30pm. You will receive a text with the meeting I.D. I will outline the programme and the activities which will be incorporated into the lessons. We hope to conclude the presentation by 7.30pm.\u00a0 For parents of the P3-7 pupils this is a repeat of previous years\u2019 input, which you may have already received.<\/p>\n Many thanks,<\/p>\n Mrs Davidson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An important part of our Health Education and Personal and Social Development programmes is Sexual Health and Relationships Education.
