Sex ed isn't compulsory in Queensland's state schools, but in NSW, kids start learning about consent in kindergarten — a year before children in NT or Tasmania. How do schools near you teach kids about sexual consent?
This included recognising all people had the right to give consent and to tell others not to touch their body when they do not want to be touched; describing the meaning of"private" and understanding their own and others' bodies are private; and practising interpersonal skills required to"negotiate safe intimate relationships"; and exploring practices in sexual relationships that enhance safety and contribute to positive experiences.
"The legalities and necessity of consent are explicitly addressed on these resources," the spokeswoman said. "Schools also have access to the Social Emotional Learning Resources, which have been tailored to suit the context of the Northern Territory and have elements that touch on consent." "While the term 'consent' is not explicitly stated in [Australian Curriculum's Health and Physical Education curriculum], there are a range of opportunities in the Year 9 and 10 curriculum to develop knowledge and understanding in both appropriate sexual health behaviours and ethical decision making," he said.
