Puberty Education Project ‘Ready, Set, Grow’
Information for Community-Led Discussion hosts and participants
Welcome to the puberty education webpage to support Hosts of Community-Led Discussions and participants! Health Consumers Queensland is partnering with Queensland Health on this important project inviting you to review and discuss resources for the Puberty Education Program ‘Ready, Set, Grow’ in Community-Led Discussions. Please find the resources below.
About the resources
The information on this website is for Hosts and people joining your Community-Led Discussions. These resources are drafts and not available publicly to everyone in Queensland. We welcome your feedback and recommendations which are needed to further develop these resources and to ensure the content is relevant, engaging and inclusive.
Please share content and links from this webpage only with people participating in Community-Led Discussions for the Puberty Education Program ‘Ready, Set, Grow’.
The safety, comfort and privacy of everyone involved in this project is the top priority. If you have any concerns, please chat to us about how we can include the voices of your community in a way that is suitable for everyone.
Hosts
We have compiled a list of questions for you to share with your discussion group when you meet or before you meet (to allow participants to come to the discussion prepared).
Parents
If you are a parent of 10-14-year-old children, we provide resources that you can discuss with your children and provide feedback to Health Consumers Queensland. (When providing feedback do not include any personal information about your children such as name, gender or where they live).
Resources for your discussion group
For your first hour of discussion, we invite you to discuss the resources below. You will receive questions to answer about each resource in your Host pack.
Click on this link to see a sample letter that parents would receive to learn more about the ‘Ready, Set, Grow’ program. Please tell us what you think about the letter. Does it explain the program well? Do you have any concerns and are there any other topics that could be a part of the program?
The mood board shows ideas for icons, images, colours, fonts and words that could be used in the ‘Ready, Set, Grow’ program. Please let us know whether you think the mood board does a good job at representing the ‘Ready, Set, Grow’ program. Do you like any of the icons, images or colours used?
This presentation is for one of the education sessions in the ‘Ready, Set, Grow’ program, called ‘Growing Up: What’s happening to my body?’ The lesson is for Year 5 students (about 9-11 years old). Health professionals will use the facilitator presentation to deliver the education lesson. Please tell us what you think about the content of the presentation. For example, do you have any concerns or is there anything confusing?
Parents and children
The ‘Ready, Set, Grow’ program has a workbook for students to use. This workbook is part of the education session ‘Growing Up: What’s happening to my body?’ Parents can discuss this workbook and education lesson with their children and ask what they think about the resources. Questions for parents and children are included in your Host pack. For example, was anything confusing? Do you think it includes students from all backgrounds?
