Same-Sex attracted youth • The term same sex attracted is an umbrella term used to describe individuals who experience feelings of sexual attraction to others of their own sex. • There are many labels that people may choose to identify as such as gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer etc. It is important not to label others and allow people to identify in the way that makes sense for them. • By using same sex attracted, we include a wide range of sexual attractions.

Gender & Homophobia • Around 8 - 11% of senior students do not identify as exclusively heterosexual. • 61% of young people reported verbal abuse because of homophobia • 80% of all the abuse happened at school. • School was the most dangerous place for young people to be. • 37% described their school as homophobic or very homophobic • Only 15% found Sexuality Education useful.

Students overwhelmingly reported that they found the lessons were delivered in a safe supportive environment, which also reflects well on the training received by teachers. The majority of students rated the program overall as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ in each of the three years.
