Recommended audience: Delivered in both Year 5 or 6. May be delivered as a part of the Upper Primary Sexual Health and Cyber Safety Curriculum or alone. May be delivered to specific genders separately, although Michelle’s preference is to speak to both genders together.
Michelle delivered the best sexual health lessons I have seen in my 20 years of teaching. She showed a genuine interest in the students while delivering entertaining, visually engaging and accurate information. Her presentation took the fear out of the subject matter and made it fun. I without hesitation recommend the program.
Rick Herd, Year 5 teacher
Michelle has delivered our sexual health program for over seven ears. Coupled with a comprehensive parent information session, the program ticks all the boxes for us, and includes loads of entertaining and educational moments for every student.
Katie Stubbing, Deputy Principal Ferny Grove State School
Michelle has been working with our students for many years. She provides a balanced, engaging and educational perspective that is perfectly pitched for year 5 and 6. Our children not only learn about the changes their bodies will undergo, but more importantly, they learn about sound positive values that sit behind human sexuality. Michelle works with our parent community to explain the program and shares insightful lessons as they move into this new stage of parenthood. We couldn’t image teaching human sexuality any other way.
