The girls session includes the menstrual cycle, 鈥楳anaging Menstruation鈥� and 鈥楤oys are Changing Too鈥�. The boys session includes 鈥楪irls are Changing Too鈥�.

A Consent2Go will be sent to parents prior to the day to indicate whether you give permission for your child to attend the Family Life Workshop and participate in supporting class lessons. If you would prefer to teach about sexual development to your child personally and do not wish your child to be present either at these sessions or in classes, please indicate this on the Consent2Go.
