Welcome to our community, where we are dedicated to kickstarting meaningful conversations for teachers of faith about navigating challenging topics like relationships, identity and sexuality in the Christian school.
Our founder, Emily Lockhart, brings over 20 years of experience in Health Education within Christian schools. With a rich background in addressing sensitive and challenging subjects, Emily completed a doctoral study focusing on the interplay between a teacher’s worldview and the delivery of Health Education in Western Australia. Her passion for high-quality education and commitment to supporting Christian health teachers inspired the creation of this community.
We recognise that the areas most influenced by the beliefs and perspectives of Christian educators often revolve around relationships, identity and sexuality education. These topics frequently leave teachers wondering, “What am I supposed to say?”
Together, we’ll tackle the challenges and insights associated with these important discussions. Our goal is to empower teachers of faith to engage confidently with their students, fostering an environment of open dialogue and understanding.
Join us as we dive into these crucial conversations and navigate this journey.
