Grade 5 Puberty Talks Begin
Dear Grade 5 Parents,
Grade 5 will have two lessons about puberty on May 14th and May 21st. The boys will meet with Mr. Wu and the girls will meet with Mrs. Redfern. These lessons have been part of our HACE curriculum for many years.
The boys and girls will discuss physical, social, and emotional changes that they may experience in their lives.
They will also watch two videos about puberty.
Here is a link to the videos for you to preview and see what they contain.
If you are not comfortable with your child watching them, please contact us.
We will also have a question box for students to ask any of their queries.
Thank you for your support.
Kind regards,
Mr. Wu & Mrs. Redfern
