Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) provides an understanding that positive, caring environments are essential for the development of a good self-image. This education should help students to be physically, socially, and emotionally healthy and to develop into responsible and informed members of society.

Effective RSE is important if young people are to make responsible and well-informed decisions about their lives. At St Mary’s Catholic School RSE is to be experienced within the teachings established by the Catholic Church, in a sensitive and open manner.
