RSE Programme
'The Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) Programme in school aims to provide opportunities for young people to learn about relationships and sexuality in ways that help them think and act in a moral, caring and responsible way. As part of this timetable class, we also explore matters relating to positive mental health and wellbeing.'
SPHE Programme
SPHE, as part of the curriculum, supports the personal development, health and well-being of young people and helps them create and maintain supportive relationships.
SPHE in Post-Primary schools is a programme for students in the Junior Cycle and builds on the experience of all children at Primary level.
What SPHE Aims to Achieve
- To enable the students to develop skills for self-fulfilment and living in communities
- To promote self-esteem and self-confidence
- To enable the students to develop a framework for responsible decision-making
- To provide opportunities for reflection and discussion
- To promote physical, mental and emotional health and well-being
The SPHE programme reflects the unique ethos of each school. The attitudes, skills and values fostered in the SPHE classroom can only truly flourish in a school where all members of the school community are treated with respect and dignity.
