A team from the Archdiocesan pastoral agency, CatholicLIFE, will be coming to McAuley on Monday evening 25th November from 6:00pm to 7:30pm to present the My Body, My Life puberty and personal development program to McAuley Yr 5 & 6 students and their parents.  

The topic of puberty is traditionally covered in the Year 5 and 6 school curriculum. This practice is now prescribed in the Australian Curriculum guidelines. As a Catholic school, we are committed to involving parents in this very important aspect of your child's development.

The program is pitched at a level appropriate for 10 - 12 year olds and consistent with a Catholic understanding of the dignity of every human person and the dignity of human sexuality.

Children must be accompanied to the evening session by their parent or guardian. Both or either parents are very welcome to attend, and it’s great if a parent of the same gender can be present as they have been through the changes themselves. Boys and girls will be separated for this presentation so if you have both a boy and a girl in this age group, a parent or guardian will need to be present with each child.

We look forward to seeing many of you on Monday 25th.
