Sex Ed

Athie from family planning Victoria came to the Xplore centre on the 16th of May during period 1 & 2. She discussed a lot about sex and sexual relationships. She also made a lot of jokes.

She told us a lot about preventing STI diseases and preventing pregnancy. She told us that condoms had a 97% chance of preventing STI disease and contraceptive pill had a 96% of preventing pregnancy. She then told use that there were three was forms of the contraceptive medication. One was the pills, second was the arm injection and third was the vaginal ring. She told also told us that the arm injection had a 99% chance of preventing pregnancy and the vaginal ring had a 96% chance of preventing pregnancy.

She explained about if you’re ready for sex and stuff like that. I found it very disturbing at sometimes and very funny at other times. At the end of the program Athie taught us hoe to use a condom. I found it very disturbing and funny at the same time.

Although sex ed has nothing to do with cool water assignment, I learnt more about sex ed in yr 9 than yr 5, 6, 7 and 8 combined.

Osteopath

David (an osteopath) came to Xplore to give us information about Osteopaths and what their jobs consists of. David told us that Osteopath was dealing with bones and muscle movement even if the name means bone disease. He told us the most common cause of back pain in your life is computers. Damn! I’m going to look after my back better now.

He also told us there are not that many osteopaths in Australia, only about 1000. I found that fact very interesting because I expected a lot more osteopaths in this world. He also told us the number of chiropractors and another practice that I had forgetton. I also forgot the number of chiropractors and unknown practice there is in Australia but I do remember that the number is very high compared to the osteopath.

Someone in the audience (I think it was Daniel Lim) asked if you can do the practice on someone while they are asleep. David told us that you could. He also said that there was once when the osteopath fell asleep on the patient.

Although the information I received had no connection with cool water, it increased my understanding of bone and muscle development, connection and relationship.

Sex Ed

Yesterday in Period 1 and 2 a guest speaker came to the Xplore Centre. She came from Sexual Health & Family Planning Australia. She talked about the risks of having unsafe sex. It was quite embarrassing with some facts that talked about involved us. She showed us different types of contraceptive things like condoms etc. She talked about things involving the law and violence against women. It was quite interesting but some parts were quite disturbing.

Yesturday's Sexual Health Guest Speaker

Yesterday there was a guest speaker, talking about Sexual Health.
i find most of the information were quite informative, but some where funny.
she talked about sex and all the problems about it. including safety of sex, homosexuality problems and medical facts.
there were other things that I've learnt, presentation don't need a very informative background, but you need to provide many information. Also use some humour in your presentation when it is appropriate, to make your presentation more attractive and interesting.
