All the programs at The Chat Academy have been developed in line with the Australian Curriculum.
Our programs are designed specifically for primary school students, with content that builds gradually as children grow.
Schools can choose the lessons that best suit their students, curriculum needs and school community — whether that's one targeted session or a series of lessons across multiple year levels.
Sessions are engaging, interactive and designed to make conversations about bodies, puberty, relationships and growing up feel comfortable, factual and completely normal.
Not sure where to start? We’re happy to help you choose the right program for your school.
Our programs support learning within the Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education, particularly within the Personal, Social and Community Health strand.
Lessons are designed to complement classroom learning across areas including identity, relationships, health, wellbeing, safety and the physical, social and emotional changes associated with growing up.
Schools can select individual sessions or combine lessons to support their students’ learning needs and curriculum priorities.
Starting the conversation
Our Years 3 & 4 sessions provide a gentle introduction to bodies, reproduction, growing up and relationships.
At this age, our focus is on building foundational knowledge using clear, simple language and creating a positive environment where students can begin talking about these topics without embarrassment or awkwardness.
Choose from four interactive sessions for Years 3–4:
Amazing You: The Inside Story!
A gentle introduction to how our bodies work, including reproductive anatomy, correct body-part names, privacy and personal boundaries.
From Tiny to Mighty: How Babies Start!
Explore how new life begins when a sperm and egg join, how babies grow in the uterus and how they are born. Students also learn about different families and the care babies need.
Body Boost: The Next Level!
Introduce the physical and emotional changes of puberty, including periods, breast development and voice changes. Students explore personal care, privacy and how everyone develops at their own pace.
Better Together: Friendship, Respect & Being You!
Explore kindness, trust, respect and what makes a good friend. Students learn about personal boundaries, asking permission, valuing differences and seeking help when something doesn’t feel right.
By Year 5, students are ready to explore growing up in a little more detail.
Our Year 5 sessions build on foundational knowledge, helping students develop a clearer understanding of reproductive anatomy, how new life begins, puberty and the importance of healthy, respectful relationships.
Choose from four interactive sessions for Year 5:
Meet the Organs: The Reproductive Team!
Explore the reproductive system, identify its key organs and learn how they work together. Students build confidence using correct anatomical language and asking questions about their bodies.
Tiny Beginnings: The Story of New Life!
Discover how sperm and egg join during fertilisation and how a baby develops in the uterus throughout pregnancy. Students also explore different families and the many ways families can grow.
Life Upgrade: Installing Your New Features!
Explore how hormones trigger the physical and emotional changes of puberty, including periods, erections, ejaculation and wet dreams. Students learn practical ways to care for their changing bodies and understand that everyone develops at their own pace.
Strong Bonds: Healthy, Respectful Relationships!
Learn what makes a relationship healthy, how to communicate personal boundaries and how peer pressure can influence choices. Students explore respectful ways to manage disagreements and recognise when to seek support.
As students approach the end of primary school, our Year 6 sessions explore growing up with greater depth and understanding.
Students build their knowledge of reproductive anatomy and the start of life, while also exploring the physical, social and emotional changes of adolescence, relationships, body image and confidence — helping them feel informed and prepared for the next stage of growing up.
Choose from four interactive sessions for Year 6:
Amazing Anatomy: The Role of Reproductive Organs!
Explore the male and female reproductive systems, the roles of individual organs and how they work together. Students learn about eggs, sperm and hormones, and how the reproductive system matures during puberty.
The Big Reveal: Exploring the Start of Life!
Explore conception through sexual intercourse, fertilisation, pregnancy and birth, including vaginal birth and caesarean section. Students also learn about consent and the legal age of consent as part of understanding reproduction.
Growing Up: Glow-Up
Understand the physical changes of puberty and the science behind them, including the role of hormones and reproductive development. Students explore practical hygiene, skin care and menstrual care, while recognising that everyone develops at their own pace.
The Social Shift: Navigating Life as You Grow
Explore the emotional and social changes of growing up, including peer pressure, changing feelings, crushes and attraction. Students consider how media influences body image and learn ways to build confidence and seek support.
Our Family Evening Sessions bring children and their parents or caregivers together to learn, talk and ask questions in a relaxed and supportive environment.
Designed to make conversations about bodies, reproduction and puberty feel a little less awkward, these interactive sessions give families shared knowledge, language and an easy starting point for conversations that can continue long after the evening is over.
Session 1 — Chat & Discover: The Journey of Babies
A family-friendly exploration of how babies begin, grow and are born.
Together, children and their parents or caregivers explore reproductive anatomy, the roles of sperm and egg, and how a baby develops during pregnancy. The session covers the placenta and umbilical cord, vaginal birth and caesarean section, while recognising that families come in many different forms.
Interactive discussions encourage questions and give families a comfortable starting point for conversations to continue at home.
Suitable for families with children of all ages.
Parent/caregiver attendance is required.
Session 2 — Chatting About Change: Understanding Puberty as a Family
Helping families understand and navigate the changes of puberty together.
Explore why puberty happens, the role of hormones and the physical changes children can expect, including periods, erections, ejaculation and wet dreams. Families learn practical approaches to hygiene, skin care and menstrual care, alongside the changes puberty can bring to emotions, confidence and relationships.
The session reinforces that everyone develops at their own pace and encourages open, comfortable conversations between children and their trusted adults.
Designed for families with children in Years 3–6.
Parent/caregiver attendance is required.
Every school community is different, and you don’t need to have it all figured out before getting in touch.
We’re happy to talk through your year levels, curriculum priorities and what you’d like your students to get from the program, and help you choose the combination of sessions that works best for your school.
Let’s get chatting!
