We’d love to partner with your school to support your relationships and sexuality education. We offer a range of curriculum based workshops to students, parents and teachers.
We appreciate that each school’s journey with this area of the curriculum may differ and we aim to meet the specific needs of the students with whom we engage. All our presenters are fun and engaging and present the information and activities in a sensitive and age appropriate manner.
We also offer a range of workshops and resources for teachers that support your schools’ positive sexuality and relationships education goals. Contact us to discuss how we can assist.
“Let’s Chat have provided workshops for our students for the past five years. Their handling of sensitive topics surrounding puberty, changing bodies, fertilisation and pregnancy is superb. Our students are led through a series of age appropriate activities which encourage participation and discussion. The girls feel comfortable to voice their questions and concerns in a safe environment. I recommend these women to you without reservation.”
For Students
Transition to high school
Year 6 (60 mins)
This workshop is designed for year 6 student and a parent or carer. We explore important tools for transitioning to high school, device use, sleep, nutrition, the nature of their friendships and relationships and how these change over time.
Respect and Resilience
Years 5 and 6
This workshop is a must for year 5 and 6 students. It aligns with the Respectful Relationships Education Program and informed by Love Bites NAPCAN facilitator training. These workshops are designed to promote the development of communication skills, social skills and language and behaviours required for respectful friendships and relationships.
Healthy & safe bodies
Years Prep-3 (75 mins)
What is the difference between private and public body parts and places? What are the physical warning signs that can help keep you safe? We look at ways to encourage students to identify feelings related to their body and give tips and advice on ways to respond to unsafe situations as well as adults they can talk to.
Understanding friendships
Years 3-6 (90 mins)
During the tweens years, friendships start to change and become very important to both boys and girls. Offering students strategies to build positive and empathetic connections, this workshop dives into the challenges of comparing and competing with others. We identify the characteristics of respectful relationships and an understanding of a variety of relationships. A powerful workshop to build resilience for the upper primary and high school years.
Intro to changing bodies
Years 4-5 (90 mins)
Around this time, children become curious about changes associated with puberty. It’s important to encourage this healthy curiosity by having discussions about physical, social, emotional, and cognitive changes, using correct language and information about the reproductive system. Students will be supported to build confidence to talk and learn about bodies, and how to keep them safe and healthy.
Who am I?
Years 4-6 (90 mins)
What makes you unique? In this workshop students will have the opportunity to identify and think about what makes them special by discussing feelings and personal strengths. They will be involved in problem solving scenarios to do with managing puberty changes and characteristics of respecting diversity and relationships.
Managing changing bodies
Years 6-7 (90mins)
Students are encouraged to consolidate information about puberty by discussing the names and functions of the reproductive system and tools to manage those physical, emotional and social changes. We give tips and advice on ways to identify physical warning signs that help keep them safe and how to respond to unsafe situations as well as adults they can chat to.
Where babies begin
Years 6-8 (90 mins)
What is a menstrual cycle? How is sperm produced? In this workshop students are supported in a sensitive manner to learn about fertilisation and stages of pregnancy, as well as respectfully acknowledging laws and values around sexual intercourse.
Media
Year 5-9 (90 mins)
These workshops encourage discussions and promote critical thinking about what we see and hear online and the influences this has on feelings and behaviour. This is achieved through exploration of topics such as healthy friendships, respectful relationships, stereotypes and gender bias, body image, sexting, pornography, consent, and sexting.
Respectful Relationships
Years 5-9 (90 mins)
This workshop supports students to identify and value empathy and respect in both friendships and when forming and exploring relationships. This is scaffolded through a range of activities that build confidence to challenge stereotypes, media representation of healthy relationships, comparision culture and identifying red flag feelings and behaviours associated with unhealthy relationships.
For Parents
