The Made In The Image Of God (MITIOG) Human Sexuality and Respectful Relationships Curriculum is designed for students who attend Catholic schools in South Australia from Years R-12. This curriculum is grounded in the Catholic belief that human beings are made in God’s image and likeness.
It celebrates the Catholic Church’s teaching centring on the dignity of the human person and as such honours the individual’s worth and their right to experience respectful and healthy relationships. It is an inclusive curriculum which acknowledges and respects the uniqueness of each person’s inherent goodness.
The MITIOG curriculum has been developed to ensure that human sexuality and respectful relationships education is accessible to all students in Catholic schools, and that it is delivered in an age appropriate and culturally sensitive manner. It is respectful of an individual’s right to make healthy and informed choices about their bodies and their relationships.
The MITIOG curriculum supports teachers in CESA schools to provide quality, contemporary and pastoral human sexuality education. CESA teachers, as educators in faith, are supported through comprehensive professional learning and training to lead and facilitate teaching and learning of the MITIOG curriculum.
Some elements of the MITIOG curriculum can be taught in conjunction with the Government of SA, Keeping Safe Child Protection Curriculum and the ACARA Health and PE (R-10) curriculum.
