Schools Programmes

Dealing with pornography has become part of your job. But you were never trained for it.

  • A learner is caught viewing pornography on a school device.
  • An intimate image is shared between pupils.
  • A parent demands to know how the school will respond.
  • A young person discloses something disturbing they have seen online.

Suddenly, teachers and school leaders are expected to make decisions involving safeguarding, discipline, learner wellbeing, parental expectations and legal responsibilities. AND talk to their students about Porn!

These are complex situations, and many educators feel under-equipped to respond.

What if we could help educate learners before a crisis happens? To have the awkward conversations, so you don't have to?

What if we could come in and communicate with parents without increasing shame or panic?

Through age-appropriate learner programmes, parenting workshops and practical support for educators, we help schools respond with confidence, consistency and care.

Our student presentations are interactive, research-informed and designed to create safe spaces for honest conversations while equipping learners to make healthy choices and navigate life online with wisdom.

What Schools Are Saying

“Our parents and students highly value the workshops on pornography and healthy relationships. Learners felt they could be honest, ask questions and engage without shame.”

Silvermine Academy - Head of School

“The workshop was excellent, informative and practical. It wasn't fear-based, and it gave parents real tools to guide conversations with their children.”

Bay Primary School - Head of Junior Campus

Grades 5–7

My Security Team

Children are making important decisions online every day. Long before they get a driver's licence, they are navigating websites, social media, online games, messaging apps and digital friendships. My Security Team helps learners build the confidence and skills they need to stay safe, make wise choices and ask for help when they need it.

Using the simple idea of a personal “security team”, learners explore:

What Do I Let In?

Helping children recognise content that is healthy, helpful and safe — and know what to do when they encounter pornography or other inappropriate material.

What Do I Let Out?

Teaching learners to think carefully about what they share online, including photos, personal information and messages, and helping them understand the risks of sending sexual images.

My Digital Toolkit

Equipping learners with practical tools, trusted adults and simple strategies they can use when they feel uncomfortable, unsafe or unsure online.

Fun, interactive and age-appropriate, My Security Team empowers learners to protect what matters, make confident decisions and thrive in a connected world with wisdom and courage.

Grades 7–12

Porn: What's the Big Deal?

Porn is often presented as harmless entertainment. But what if it's actually a thief? This interactive presentation explores how pornography steals from individuals, relationships and the people on the other side of the screen.

How Does Porn Steal My Health?

Exploring the impact pornography can have on mental wellbeing, emotional health, developing brains, addiction cycles and overall quality of life.

How Does Porn Steal My Relationships?

Looking at how pornography can affect trust, intimacy, self-image, expectations and the ability to build healthy, respectful relationships.

How Does Porn Steal From Those on the Other Side of the Screen?

Understanding the realities behind the screen, including exploitation, consent, dignity, coercion and the impact on real people.

How Do We Protect What Matters?

Equipping learners with practical tools to make healthy choices, navigate digital culture wisely and build strong, respectful relationships.

Through real-life stories, current research and honest discussion, learners are encouraged to think critically about the messages they consume and the future they want to build.

Cover of the Pornography and Digital Safety Policy Review Guide for South African Schools
Free School Policy Guidance resource

Pornography-related incidents are no longer rare. Whether it's a learner accessing pornography on a school device, the sharing of intimate images, or a disclosure of concerning online content, schools increasingly need clear procedures that protect learners, support staff and meet their safeguarding responsibilities.

Many schools already have policies covering digital devices and acceptable use. But were those policies written with today's online realities in mind? To help schools review their current approach, we've developed a free School Policy Guidance resource. It provides practical guidance on areas such as:

  • Pornography and explicit content
  • School-owned devices and acceptable use
  • Sexting and image-based abuse
  • Safeguarding and reporting responsibilities
  • Supporting learners following disclosure
  • Communication with parents and caregivers
  • Staff roles and referral pathways

The guide is intended as a practical starting point for reviewing and strengthening your existing policies and procedures. If you would like support applying the guidance within your own school context, we'd be happy to arrange a conversation with your leadership team.
