Body Safety Australia Parent Workshop - Deutsche Schule Melbourne

This workshop aims to inform you of what your child will be learning with us and how you can keep the conversation going at home. This workshop is designed to give parents and carers the information they need to understand and respond to their children’s growing need for information in their online and offline worlds.

Body Safety Australia is running the following programs with students this year:

Foundations & Grade 2: Superstars Program
Our Superstars program is designed to empower and educate children to understand and communicate their right to bodily autonomy and equip communities to prevent child sexual abuse. This program focuses on empowerment and is underpinned by our 10 learning objectives. Through games, group work, stories, and guided discussion, the children are encouraged to reflect upon and explore what bodily autonomy means.

Grade 4: Imagine Me Program
Our Imagine Me program promotes positive body image and encourages students toreflect on physical, emotional, and mental health. The program encourages students to recognise their own values and understand how the messages we receive from media and society can influence how we feel about ourselves, our eating habits and our feelings and thoughts about our bodies. Imagine Me has been developed as a whole of community response to the increase in poor body image and disordered eating that has occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic

Grades 1,3 & 5: Unique You Program
Our Unique You program offers curriculum aligned sexuality education including the role of families, demystifying bodies, conception and birth, and puberty. Through games, guided discussion and storytelling, students reflect on concepts that recognise the diversity of families and values within the school community. The program is in line with the National Curriculum and the Rights, Resilience, and Respectful Relationships Curriculum

Grade 6: Naked Truths Program
Our Naked Truths program builds on students’ eSafety knowledge by exploring how they use the internet to enact relationships and curiosity about sexual content. Students critically engage with personal values and identity and explore how to have consensual, respectful and healthy relationships online and offline. The workshop gives students the opportunity to reflect on their network of safe adults, consider help seeking behaviours, and foster empathy within their online and offline friendship groups.
