Sex education is not just about biology, it’s about respect, responsibility, and relationships.”
A workshop on Adolescence Awareness and Puberty was conducted at St. Lawrence High School and Junior College for Grade 8 students by Ms. Habiba Kudrati, an esteemed psychologist and counsellor. The session aimed to provide accurate information and guidance on a sensitive yet important topic, especially as students go through major hormonal and emotional changes.
The workshop covered topics like physical changes during puberty, attraction towards the opposite sex, personal hygiene, and emotional well-being. Students were encouraged to ask questions, either openly or anonymously on paper, and all their doubts were addressed respectfully and clearly. At St. Lawrence, we believe in empowering students with the right knowledge to help them make informed decisions and avoid misinformation. Workshops like these are part of our ongoing efforts to support their healthy growth and development.
