Sex education left a lasting impact on myself as a 9 year old, and it was a negative experience.<br>
<br>
Without prompting, my children have come home discussing worse frustrations than I had as a young person. It leaves them feeling deeply unsettled and uncomfortable, that from a non-religious point of view can be considered detrimental to a young mind.<br>
<br>
Their brains and bodies have not developed to the point that they have even considered thinking about sex, let alone sexual preference.<br>
<br>
On another note, bringing up topics like this to young minds is a form of psychological nudging. It should be up to a child to pick their direction in life without a school unintentionally nudging a child into a sexuality they may not have developed naturally. <br>
<br>
As a parent who cares about academic performance, I see this as a distraction from the schools core responsibilities. <br>

It is not a teachers job to talk to my pre-pubescent child about sexuality. To avoid bullying of the LGBTQ+ community and/or any other group, please feel free to guide my children on the values of respect, empathy and appreciation for others without using labels.
Scott supported: Age-appropriate LGBTQ+ and sex education in our school!As a parent of an 8-year-old girl and 4 year old boy, I believe that the focus in primary education should be on essential life skills such as self-development, financial literacy, and, in the context of an Anglican school, a strong foundation in faith. While inclusivity and respect for all individuals are important, the normalization of topics such as gender identity and sexuality at such a young age is premature and potentially confusing. Our children deserve age-appropriate education that prioritizes their personal growth, safety, and well-being without introducing complex social issues that may not align with the values and developmental readiness of primary-aged students.
Will supported: Age-appropriate LGBTQ+ and sex education in our school!It is family violence and impacts the most vulnerable-our children. It robs them of the childhood that they deserve with long term irreversible psychological impacts. My children were thriving post separation until the psychological abuse took hold. I saved myself but unfortunately I can’t save my children.
