A comprehensive sexuality education resource for primary school students from prep to year 7, Bodies and Relationships Education Essentials was written by Family Planning Queensland and published in 2007.
What is Bodies and relationships education essentials?
Bodies and Relationships Education Essentials is a sexuality education resource for primary schools containing lesson outlines from prep to year 7 that are sequential and age appropriate. It is designed to assist teachers to create a safe, supportive, inclusive and positive environment for sexuality education.
The resource also offers teachers extensive support materials for implementing a sexuality education program. This includes teaching strategies, information for parents, additional resources and explanations of key concepts.
Bodies and Relationships Education Essentials is designed to make implementing and conducting lessons simple and effective. It provides a framework (for teachers to adapt) for the delivery of a sexuality education program that meets the needs of their students and school communities.
Lessons are organised around the following themes:
- Making healthy choices
- Growing and changing
- Staying safe
- Human development
Each year level has a lesson summary with an overview for that year’s lessons covering the length, topic, content and activities of each lesson.
Each individual lesson plan outlines:
- Learning outcomes for each lesson
- Activities, discussions, resources and worksheets
- Conclusion activities and discussions – designed for reflection on lesson content, lesson objectives and assessing learning
- Times – approximate times for activities
- Extension activities – suggested activities to extend the themes of the lesson through creative and practical approaches to extend learning
Connections to the curriculum
Bodies and Relationships Education Essentials develops core concepts sequentially and provides scope to explore sexuality education topics further across Key Learning Areas. The length and format of the program aims to encourage schools to implement the whole program for each year level, rather than teaching lessons in isolation. Lesson outlines, coupled with the suggested extension activities, form the basis for units of work to be developed. This supports the exploration of sexuality education topics across curricula with content, learning activities and assessment negotiated with students.
The Student Health and Wellbeing Curriculum Framework (Department of Education, Training and the Arts, 2005) provides schools with information about the health promoting schools approach and supports the delivery of sexuality education. One of the six priority health areas identified in the document is sexual health and student outcomes in the areas of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values are identified. The Student Health and Wellbeing Curriculum Framework identifies the four key elements of sexual health as being:
- Growth and development
- Identity and relationships
- Communication and interpersonal skills
- Personal health and safety
Bodies and Relationships Education Essentials contributes to the sexual health outcomes of the Student Health and Wellbeing Curriculum Framework.
Bodies and Relationships Education Essentials supports the outcomes and objectives across Year 1-10 Key Learning Areas (KLA), including the Early Years Curriculum Guidelines. Health and Physical Education is the strongest link across the curriculum, but Core Learning Outcomes (CLO) from other areas such as Studies of Society and Environment, English, Maths and Science also provide opportunities for the delivery of sexuality education lessons in the resource. Each lesson outline from prep to year 7 in Bodies and Relationships Education Essentials has been mapped to CLOs across the curriculum.
