Five years ago, Dr Joyce Yu and Angelique Wan co-founded Consent Labs after reflecting on the significant gaps in their high school sex education.

Since then, more than 2,000 women and girls, some as young as 13, have come forward with their experiences of sexual assault and rape at different schools across Australia., NSW Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said the state has incorporated consent into its curriculum since 2018.“Consent is now much more explicit in our… curriculum, we’re making sure schools have the resources to have these conservations with students,” she added.

However, the co-founders said while including consent in the curriculum is a good first step, there are still significant issues that need to be addressed. “We need to be consistently receiving good quality sex education across NSW and across the country,” she said.

How about teaching the kids who to do their tax? How to apply for an tax file number or ABN. How to Vote and the requirements for it. How to get a medicare card, bank account and apply for welfare support. Most year 12 leavers have no idea about any of the above.

Should be a strong emphasis on knowing how to be a friend with the opposite sex. How to form platonic relationships and just be able to communicate equally.
