Parent Seminars
Nurturing Respectful Relationships in the Senior School Years
This presentation is designed specifically for parents and carers of Years 10–12 students and will explore:
Sexual Decision-Making & Ethics
How teenagers are really thinking about sex, relationships, and identity in today’s culture — and how parents can help shape a healthy, values-based framework for decision-making.
Consent & Respect
What young people understand (and misunderstand) about consent, pressure, and boundaries — and how to have conversations that build clarity, confidence, and respect.
The Power of Friendships
How peer influence strongly shapes choices around relationships, risk-taking, parties, and online behaviour — and how parents can help their teen choose friendships that strengthen, not sabotage, their future.
What It’s Like to Be a Teen in 2026:
Insights into the real world our young people are growing up in, including:
- Online and social media pressures
- Exposure to pornography and sexual content and its influence on young people
- Hookup culture and relationship expectations
- Healthy friendship and its influence on healthy dating
What Parents Will Walk Away With:
- Feel more confident talking about sex, consent, relationships, and values
- Understand the social and digital pressures shaping teen behaviour
- Gain practical language and conversation starters for tricky topics
- Learn how to set boundaries that protect while still building trust and independence
- Feel better equipped to guide their teens’ decisions without pushing them away
- Have a clearer sense of how home and school can work together to support students
These conversations aren’t always comfortable — but they are one of the most protective factors in a young person’s life.
