Comprehensive Education

Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) is known by a few different names including Respectful Relationships & Consent Education and Health & Wellbeing Education.

At Respect Collective, we use RSE as we believe it more accurately describes the wide range of topics that are can and should be covered in a curriculum. 

Age appropriate

Not all topics are suitable for all year levels. How the topic is taught also varies by age group. For example, younger students might get an introduction to a basic concept to raise awareness, while older students will need more explicit information to support decision making.

The International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education  outlined eight key areas of RSE that all schools should address:
  1. Relationships
  2. Values, rights culture and sexuality
  3. Understanding gender
  4. Violence and staying safe
  5. Skills for health and well-being
  6. The human body and development
  7. Sexuality and sexual behaviour
  8. Sexual and reproductive health


It argues that all these concept areas can and should be addressed in age appropriate ways.  

Research shows parents support RSE being taught in schools across a wide range of topics (Hendriks et al., 2023).
