Sexuality Education and the VELS
Introduction
The PowerPoint presentation provides an overview of the place of sexuality education in the VELS with a particular emphasis on the Health and Physical Education and Interpersonal Development domains.
The Sexuality Education Curriculum Audit Tool assists schools to evaluate their sexuality education curriculum against the VELS. In using the tool, schools will identify:
- the components of sexuality education that are currently included in the school curriculum
- topics and themes relevant to sexuality education that are not currently addressed in the school curriculum that could be included in the future
- the teaching and learning resources required to support the teaching of specific topics or themes relevant to sexuality education
- the additional skills and support required to implement a comprehensive sexuality education curriculum.
This audit tool focuses on the Health and Physical Education and Interpersonal Development domains which have the strongest curriculum links to sexuality education. Audit pages have been provided for these two domains. Other domains such as English, History, Civics and Citizenship and Science could potentially provide opportunities to address topics relevant to sexuality education. A blank audit format has been provided to allow schools to investigate other domains that may address topics relevant to sexuality education.
