According to Shing, her school curriculum is very much based on the developmental needs of the students. When leading sessions for students ages 8-11 years, their focus is on changes that occur during puberty, such as having periods and acknowledging feelings and attractions. Classes are conducted separately for boys and girls, and are done in small groups, several times per year. Classes may incorporate educational TV clips/video segments and generally allow for classroom discussion. Parents are told at the beginning of the year which issues will be discussed, but are not typically notified before each sexuality education session.
