Year 10 Love Bites

Love Bites is a Respectful Relationships Education Program for Year 10 students. It consists of two interactive workshops: one on Relationship Violence, and one on Sex and Relationships.

The program emphasises the importance of a whole-of-school commitment to respectful relationship education.

Love Bites aims to provide young people with a safe environment to examine, discuss and explore respectful relationships. All Love Bites programming takes a strength-based approach and views young people as active participants who are able to make choices for themselves and their relationships when supported with information and opportunity forskill development.

Love Bites education is focused on three critical areas for learning:

• Knowledge: youth-led collaborative learning
• Attitudes: critical thinking and decision-making and
• Behaviours: problem solving and communication skills

The overall aims of the programming are to equip young people with the knowledge needed to have respectful relationships, encourage and develop their skills in critical thinking and assist them in being able to problem solve and communicate effectively. When equipped in these areas, young people can make the right choices for themselves and their relationships that are free from violence and abuse.
