In support of parents, the CCQ program will become the main method for providing students with sexuality education. However, it will remain a responsibility shared by all school staff. It is taught with a comprehensive, positive and inclusive view of sexuality, to allow students not only to acquire knowledge, but also to develop respectful and egalitarian attitudes and behaviours, to take responsibility for various issues associated with sexuality, and to make informed decisions.
content is part of a progression of learning that respects students’ level of psychosexual development. The topics addressed will cover different dimensions of human sexuality: biological, psychoaffective, interpersonal, socio-cultural and ethical. You may review the topics addressed based on your child’s grade level. (Find links for more information below)
The school and the family play complementary roles in education, especially in sexuality education. Indeed, it is within the family that children first become aware of different ways of living and of expressing oneself. Sexuality education begins at home, as a parental responsiblity. The school is a place for reflection, where young people can participate in discussions and learn to live in relation to others. The complementarity and collaboration between the school and the family is important to reinforce and optimize the actions of each stakeholder.
