MOEs Guiding Principles

• Parents bear the main responsibility for the
  sexuality education of their children
• Sexuality education is premised on the importance
  of the family as the basic unit of society
• Teaching of facts is integrated with the
  teachings of values, which reflect that of the
  mainstream society

Goals of Sexuality Education

• Provide accurate and adequate knowledge on human
  sexuality and the consequences of sexual activity
  so that pupils are able to make informed
  decisions.
• Impart intra- and inter-personal skills of
  problem-solving, decision-making and effective
  communication so that pupils are able to build
  responsible and rewarding relationships.
• Inculcate positive values and attitudes so that
  pupils develop a respect for themselves and
  others as sexual beings, in line with the
  national value of the family as the basic unit of
  society.

Role of our School

• Using the Growing Years Series Resource
  Package issued by the Guidance Branch as our main
  reference, we hope that by the end of the 2-year
  programme, pupils will be able to
• better manage themselves as they undergo puberty
• adopt positive values and attitudes towards
  sexuality
• maintain healthy relationships
• make responsible choices
• seek appropriate sources of information or help

Role of Parents

• While we are able to teach the hard facts to
  our pupils, we need parents to foster the right
  values and provide close guidance to their own
  children. We hope that through collaboration, our
  children will understand the physiological,
  social and emotional changes as they mature.
