Girls’ schools offer a distinctive space for delivering Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE), yet this context brings its own challenges, including navigating some complex and nuanced conversations. This Headways™ series explores what evidence based RSE looks like in a Girls’ school context and how a school's culture can support (rather than limit) this vital area of education. Each session will explore different aspects of relationships and sexuality and help educators and administrators in girls’ schools better support their students in this area. The topics to be covered include: Relationship and Sexuality within the unique context of girls’ schools, trauma informed practice, navigating digital intimacy, promoting sexual health and safety.
