Dear Parents/Guardians:
Beginning Thursday, April 26th, our
next unit of study in the Health class will be Sexual Health. The purpose of this unit is to equip students
with the information they need to make healthy life decisions and to support
others to do the same. We will cover
topics such as sexual knowledge, attitudes and healthy decision making. The curriculum outcomes regarding this study
are as follows:
Assess the
social, cultural, and environmental influences on and supports for sexual
health knowledge, attitudes, behaviours, and decisions.
Appraise the role of “support” in making healthy decisions related to family
roles and responsibilities, non-curable infections/diseases, violence and
abuse, body image, sustainability, and sexual health.
Analyze the
health opportunities and challenges, and establish “support others” personal
goal statements, related to family roles and responsibilities, non-curable
infections/diseases, violence and abuse, body image, sustainability, and sexual
health.
As part of this unit, I have invited Planned
Parenthood in to give a special presentation called, “After the Talk”. The purpose of this presentation is to
discuss safe sex practices, contraception, sexually transmitted infections and
consent. They will be showing a power
point presentation, discussing how pregnancy occurs, how to prevent pregnancy,
what STI’s are and how they can be prevented.
If you are not comfortable allowing your child to see this power point, please
let me know and they will be excused from the class. An alternate assignment will then be sent
home for your child to complete with you, in order to meet the curriculum
requirements. This presentation will take place on Tuesday, May 8th.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding
the above, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can be reached at the school at (306) 791-8585
or by email: angela.scott@rbe.sk.ca.
Take care and enjoy the rest of your week.
Sincerely,
Angela
Scott
