During Term 4 the Year 6’s have been working through various transition activities as we move from Junior School to Middle School. One of these activities was having The Centre for Life, Marriage and Family-Family Life Education team come and speak to parents and to the Year 6 boys about ‘Becoming a Man’.

There are a lot of changes going on in our lives as we come to the end of the Junior School journey. We were able to look into and discuss these changes during our student sessions. During these sessions, we discussed life before birth, physical and emotional change, hormonal change, hygiene practices, forming healthy friendships and girls changing too.

We found that this program linked well with our Religion, Health and Character Education classes. Both our presenters made it really easy to understand and feel comfortable with the changes and with the uniqueness of how God created us. Respecting others and especially ourselves during this time will remain important throughout our time here at Aquinas.
