“I don’t think kids should be celebrated for being sexual. That’s for when we are older. We should know about sex but that’s all. But now the whole school has whole days to celebrate sexuality. I’m not even legally old enough to have sex but I am told to dress up to celebrate it.”

“My children go to Dulwich Hill High and I found out by chance that our school is a part of the Safe School Coalition. No one from the school informed me of this change. I am really concerned about the changes to the sex education program which this program has introduced. How can I find out more without causing any problems for my children? “

“I am shocked that my child’s primary school Marrickville West Public School has joined the Safe School Coalition! Our school is full of minority communities. Why should the LGBTI community have an anti – bullying program exclusively aimed at their needs? I am disappointed that I was not informed of this drastic change in my child’s school. I have a right to know what my child is being taught! “
