Relationships & Sexual Health (RSE)

Helping students navigate puberty, consent, body safety and sexual health.

Choose from 11 age appropriate modules - aligned with your school needs.

Conversations about consent, respectful relationships, identity and puberty can often feel challenging for teachers to navigate in the classroom. That’s why Life Ed Victoria provides specialist facilitators, trained to deliver these sessions with confidence, care, and sensitivity. Our Relationships and Sexual Health stream gives primary school students the knowledge and skills they need to understand the physical, social, and emotional changes that come with growing up. With curriculum-aligned, age-appropriate content, these sessions help children explore who they are, build safe and respectful relationships, and manage the changes of puberty in a healthy way. By creating a safe and supportive environment, our facilitators empower students to ask questions, express their feelings, and develop life skills that support their wellbeing and relationships into the future.
