Dear Families / Guardians,
In Term 3 this year between 2nd September and 18th September, Grades 4-6 at South Hobart Primary School will participate in Consent and Relationship Education (CARE). The CARE program empowers children to understand that their bodies are their own and equip them to make positive, respectful choices for themselves and others. Topics covered over three sessions will include:
‘Felt Safety and Safety Network’
- Identifying early warning signs and connecting feelings to safe or unsafe behaviours
- Understanding and communicating safety
- Identifying trusted adults, support networks and resources
‘Our Bodies and Consent’
- Understanding consent related to concepts of body autonomy, privacy and safety
- Knowledge of correct anatomical body part names
- Identifying personal body rules
‘Consenting in Action’
- Understanding consent in context of spectrum of agreeance
- Understanding pressure, coercion, and force
- Strategies for communicating consent
On Wednesday 27th August at 3:15pm, we will be running a 1hr parent/guardian session at the school. The session will cover student content, information about sexual harm myths and prevalence, best responses to disclosures, and opportunities to ask questions from our educators.
CARE aligns with National Curriculum requirements for Consent and Respectful Relationships Education and is delivered by the Sexual Assault Support Service. If you have any questions about the program, please contact us on training@sass.org.au
Yours sincerely,
Christie Dixon
Primary Prevention Coordinator

Our school will be participating in a trial of a new tool called the Preschool Outcomes Measure. This tool is designed to help teachers better understand a child’s learning and development in kindergarten. It focuses on a child’s language and problem-solving skills.
The trial is part of a National Applied Trial being conducted in schools across all states and territories, aimed at improving educational outcomes for children in the year before full-time school.
Only some kindergarten children may be invited to take part in the trial. If chosen, your child will participate in a range of familiar classroom activities as part of the process.
If you do not wish for your child to be included in the National Applied Trial, please return the ‘Opt-out form’ to your child’s teacher by Thursday 14 August. If our school does not receive this form from you by this date, your child may be included in the trial.
To find out more about the Preschool Outcomes Measure and the National Applied Trial, please read the attached fact sheet or ask your child’s teacher.
