Dear Parents of Gr. 6, 7 and 8,
The Wellness teachers, together with the MS School Counselors, would like to invite you to attend a meeting to share with you the Wellness curriculum we will be teaching in regard to Adolescent Development and Sexual Health (human growth and development).
The Wellness lessons provide the knowledge and understanding of how the human body changes during puberty and the process of human reproduction. We also aim to provide opportunities to discuss and explore what healthy, happy relationships look like as we move through the adolescent years.
If adolescents are provided with accurate information to understand what is happening to them they will hopefully grow into confident and healthy adults able to make positive choices.
At the meeting you will have an opportunity to learn about the research behind the curriculum, the content being taught and how we teach this content. There will also be an opportunity to share your thoughts and questions.
We appreciate your role in guiding your child through this developmental period. We hope our session will be thoughtful and enjoyable and we encourage you to find the time to join us.
We look forward to seeing you next Thursday.
When: Thursday, January 28th
Time: 9:00 – 10:30am
Where: MPB 1
Please use this link to sign up for the session. We will need to know numbers in order to prepare seating and refreshments.
Regards,
Wellness Teachers – Brenda Perkins, Martin Hermann (Gr 8) ; Lindsay Serrano, Maurilio Baron-Toaldo (Gr 7) ; Peter Johnson, Michelle Ahoy , Louise Saddington (Gr 6) ; Jackie Greenwood, Janel Wilder and Carmel Kean (MS Counselors)
