~ ‘wn a. ae ” semester, ~ school’s 800 students are enroll- Wednesday, June 24, 1987 By ANNA D’ANGELO Review Staff Writer It was not so long ago that teenagers would tuck. books about procreation underneath mattresses. or stash them in-a sibling’s closet. Asking about sex would make some. mothers dive into their dishwater while fathers would J walk away mumbling and blushing. Today, individual schools have been tasked with determin- ing the scope of sex education taught in the classroom. ‘“We have been cautious over . the years,’’ said Doris Brozuk, a counsellor at: North Saanich Middle School, ‘‘but. parents are more concerned and want kids to be aware.’”’ AL present, students in each middle school grade receive up to three hours of sex education which includes. a film and class -discussion, Brozuk said. ‘We don’t get into a lot of depth unless asked.”’ Topics discussed include puberty and biological change, child abuse, AIDS, and teenage pregnancy. Brozuk attended two workshops on the new family’ life education program the pro- vincial goverment will introduce this fall. Next. year,. programs .at all. grade levels will be mandatory, with each child receiving 10 hours of instruction. No statistics on sexual activi- ty of Grade 6 to 8 students is available, but Brozuk believes only a small minority are active. At Stelly’s Secondary, paren- _ tal-_ permission is required before Grade 11 vand-°12. ‘students discuss teenage pregnancy, sex- ~~ ually...transmitted — diseases, puberty, peer .and parent pressure. “It is up to: ‘the: individual guidance teacher as to what is taught,” said Stelly’s counsellor Bill... Braun. Next year,. ‘the “course will be mandatory unless: © parents would rather na their “ children at home. ‘With parent permission, Stel- ly’s students also have access to . a “computer program ‘on: ‘AIDS. fap ~ awareness - that: rotates. through “senior school. classes. “It’s. definitely because ‘of .B.C’s -high number. 8 of reported. AIDS (cases). -However,. ‘the: Stelly’s counsellor does not. feel there’s S.. a serious. problem. ‘There is: probably more: talk than action,’” he-said. ‘‘t-can’t. estimate the (sexual) because the maturity devel is so different.’’’ “At Parkland.

Browne noted. ‘“We have Family Management 1] and 12 and science classes.”’ Family management covers the effects of alcohol on the fetus,. changing roles of male and females and breast ex-. aminations for cancer. The two- - year-old program includes discussions, field trips, Speakers and assignments. ‘We expect the schools to do everything without any resources,’’ said Camille Mar- tin, co-ordinator of Peninsula Community Association's youth services.
