Workshop: Sexuality Education, the teacher and the Catholic School

ACCS and Catholic Medical Guild will be presenting a one day workshop, “Sexuality Education—the teacher and the Catholic School: Why? What? How?” This will take place on Saturday, 14 March (9.00am to 5.30pm) at The Training Centre, Catholic Junior College.

In this workshop, teachers will learn more about several aspects of the Catholic Church’s teachings on sex and sexuality. They will also be invited to reflect on and discuss ways a Catholic school can teach it. In addition, there will be presentations on the roles educators and parents play in forming the young person to be a sexually responsible individual.

Among the workshop speakers are:

• Fr David Garcia, Dominican priest
• Dr John Hui, Catholic Medical Guild
• Mr John Ooi, parent, educator and edu-preneur
• Mrs Michelle Soliano-Liew, a Family Life educator and trainer
• Bro Paul Rogers, Principal, Catholic Junior College

This workshop can help educators better respond to the Church’s call that Catholic schools teach sexuality education in ways that are based on the teachings of Jesus Christ and the wisdom of the Church. In this way, educators in Catholic schools can better impart knowledge and skills to students that will help them to make responsible and discerning choices that respect life.

The cost per person to attend the workshop is $30, inclusive of materials and meals.
