Research & Statistics
SHINE SA’s support for schools is informed by current research and statistics in the area of relationships, sexual health and wellbeing of young people.
Every year, students tell us what they think of the Relationships & Sexual Health curriculum as delivered by their school. The Student Feedback Snapshot Report summarises data collected from over 3000 students who participated in relationships and sexual health lessons at their school.
