Interrelate’s Family Evening program involves two one-hour live presentations designed to give an overview of issues that preteens will experience. Our experienced educator will be approaching the topics using language that is appropriate for children, however, parental supervision is required.

These sessions aim to create a framework for parents and children to begin having conversations about uncomfortable topics such as structure and functions of the reproductive system in males and females, conception, foetal development including birth, physical changes and emotional changes at puberty that children begin to start asking about at these ages.

The first session is titled 'Where Did I Come From?' and will begin the discussion on the male and female reproductive systems, as well as placing an emphasis on personal safety and protective behaviours. This session will run between 6:00pm - 7:00pm AEDT.

The second session is titled 'Preparing For Puberty' In this session, we discuss the physical changes of puberty, putting emphasis on the fact that it can be different for everyone. We also build on the first session in enhancing the awareness of a child’s personal safety, as well as inform further on protective behaviour. We develop students’ understanding of periods and sperm production, as well as the physical, emotional, social and intellectual changes associated with puberty for both boys and girls. This session is recommended for children above Year 5, however, in the past mature Year 3 and 4 students have seen this material. This session will run from 7:15 - 8:15pm AEDT.
