Interrelate

In Term 3 Grade 5 and 6 students participate in the Interrelate program over three 90 minute sessions. The evidence-based program aims to ensure students are empowered through knowledge and information around relationships and sexuality so students feel confident to make informed decisions about their wellbeing.
