Years 7 and 8. These includes looking at the idea of gender roles and jobs, looking at inspirational women in their lives, etc. A number of staff will also speak with the students during this time to help further their work in this area. These activities are designed to be particularly relevant to both boys and girls, but are facilitated to two locations by gender to help better address the particular environment and relevant content.
