Some Catholic parents wonder about what their child is learning in school in relation to RSE.
Here is a link to a website which outlines some of the resources that are being used in schools in Ireland. Note that not all of the resources on this website are being used in your child’s school. If you have any queries about any of the content in these resources you can inquire from your child’s teacher if a particular resource will be used this year. It would be good to familiarise yourself with the RSE policy of the school also (this may be available on your school’s website). Some schools send a note home to parents before each RSE module requesting consent, some schools send home one note at the beginning of your child’s academic life and you sign your agreement to the RSE programme of your school once only.
In addition to the resources outlined in the website above, here is a link to the SPHE (Social, Personal and Health Education) curriculum which the RSE programme is part of.
