Year 6 Consent Workshops and Guest Speaker

Next week, we welcome guest speaker, Jane McGowen, to run her Consent for Kids program with Year 6. The program will be delivered in workshops done in class groups held on Monday 18 September during the school day. Jane has developed the Consent for Kids program to provide earlier intervention to help resource and enhance confidence for young people within a protective behaviours lens. She uses a variety of techniques to enable young people to learn about themselves in a safe and structured way that is also fun!

Aims:

To develop and maintain a positive self-concept
To understand self-awareness and identify feelings and ways to manage strong emotions
To understand early warning signs of discomfort
Age-appropriate understandings of body autonomy, consent and body sovereignty
Understanding personal safety issues and practising protective behaviours
Practising confident communication
Identify support systems
To develop bystander awareness and peer support relationships

In addition to the student workshops, Jane will also be presenting to Year 6 parents the following evening, Tuesday 19 September. Please see details below.
