    In this Netflix & Chill lesson, students will experiment with the concept of consent in their every day lives.

    The lesson starts with a group brainstorm of all the messages we receive that tell us how consent and relationships "should" be. This provides an opportunity for students to break free of unhelpful tropes and reflect more deeply on their own personal understandings. Students will work in pairs to reflect on choosing something to watch that both people will enjoy. By examining their own consent practices, processes, tools, techniques, and strategies that they use in other aspects of life, the consent skills and negotiation skills that many young people have already developed are highlighted. This solution-focussed approach is crucial because it gives people something they can use to navigate the discourse (and its power relations to us and with each other).

    Each lesson ends with a consolidation activity, inviting students to list 1 thing they have learnt from the lesson, 1 thing they already knew, 1 piece of advice they would share with a friend, and 1 adult or organisation that would be helpful in relation to the lesson topic.

    Ideally, you will have scope to deliver all of the lessons in your program. However we understand that many schools have limited capacity to do so.

    In Year 11 and 12 you can deliver lessons from either year level. It can be helpful for Year 12's to explore more foundational issues in the Year 11 curriculum. It is also beneficial for Year 11's to have access to more advanced lessons from the Year 12 curriculum.  

    Should you find yourself having to implement part of this program, we have provided a suggested sequence of lessons within the broader skills and knowledge categories of relationship, consent, gender, and health & legal literacy. We recommend delivering at least one lesson from each category.

    Group Agreements & Pod Mapping should be the first lesson as per best practice.
