True’s ‘All Schools’ program is a groundbreaking initiative that provides sexual health education directly to students across Queensland. Delivered by our team of expert educators in sexual and reproductive health, this program is designed to cater to students from prep to Year 12, ensuring that the content aligns with the Australian curriculum.
By focusing on age-appropriate material, the program can be tailored to meet each school's unique needs, considering local circumstances and specific community concerns.
What sets the ‘All Schools’ program apart is its holistic approach to sexual health education. It goes beyond just imparting knowledge, encouraging students to engage in discussions, think critically, and conduct research as part of their learning journey. All Schools can be tailored to address your local circumstances and is delivered in smaller class sizes to allow discussion and collaboration with the students.
“As a teacher, I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact True’s ‘All Schools’ program has had on our students. The content is not only informative but also presented in a way that encourages students to think critically and engage in meaningful discussions. I’m so glad we’ve had the opportunity to bring this program to our school, it’s helped equip our students with essential knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing.”

Course info
The program covers a wide range of essential topics, which are adapted according to the students' grade level and the interests of the school. These topics include:
Sexual Development
Using anatomically accurate language, we facilitate age-appropriate discussions and lessons on sexual development. We teach students about the physical, emotional, and social changes they experience as they grow, helping them to understand puberty, relationships, and the importance of respect and consent in personal interactions.
Personal Safety
Understanding consent and safety is a key part of our program. We teach students the importance of consent, saying no, safety in and outside of the home, influences of alcohol and drugs, and how to seek help and support from trusted adults.
Puberty & Reproduction
We teach students about the biological changes that occur during puberty, including the development of reproductive systems, hormonal changes, and the processes involved in human reproduction, all while emphasising the importance of body autonomy and respect for others.
Sexual Relationships
Students are taught the importance of healthy, respectful relationships, focusing on consent, communication, and the emotional aspects of intimacy, while also providing information on safe sexual practices and personal boundaries.
Consent
We help students unpack and understand the importance of mutual agreement in all interactions, emphasising that consent must be freely given, informed, and reversible. We also guide them in recognising respectful communication, understanding boundaries, and identifying situations where consent may be compromised.
Sexually Explicit Media
We educate students about the differences between real-life relationships and what is portrayed in pornography. We emphasise the potential harms of viewing sexually explicit content at a young age, such as unrealistic expectations, the objectification of people, and the importance of critical thinking when encountering such media. The program encourages open discussions about media literacy, respect, and understanding healthy, consensual relationships.
STIs
We teach students about the various types of STIs, how they are transmitted, and the importance of prevention through safe sexual practices, such as using condoms. We also highlight the significance of regular testing, early detection, and treatment, while addressing the stigma around STIs to promote informed, responsible decision-making regarding sexual health.
