Introducing Consent Education at a young age establishes a foundation for understanding and respecting boundaries early on for children.  

Through early conversations in primary school, children are more likely to develop a positive and healthy understanding of consent, paving the way for ongoing discussions and further education as they grow. 

Last Term our Barbreck students discussed establishing healthy boundaries, developing effective communication skills, and reinforcing the culture of respect, empathy, and kindness. They explored the importance of self-awareness, focusing on thinking and feeling before acting.  

Each week we continue to share evidence of our learning and thoughts on how we can each navigate scenarios and future situations with kindness and respect.
