Learning target 4.1

Bodies, Boundaries & Consent

Recognise and respect bodily autonomy, apply consent principles across everyday, sexual, and online contexts, and analyse power dynamics.

T2Horizontal understanding
Conceptual understanding that integrates across contexts — how students reason and apply ideas. Assessed by the quality of the reasoning, not just recall.

Six developmental bands

Each band shows what students Know, Understand, and Do at this learning target — from the youngest dragons through Grade 12. Headlines first; expand any band for the full content.

Band A
Water + Air Dragons
K–2ages 5–7
Know

Anatomically correct names for private body parts (penis, vulva, vagina, bottom, chest), taught matter-of-factly using the same register as other body parts.+1 more

Understand

My body is mine, and there are specific people whose job is to help keep it safe.

Do

I can name private body parts using correct terminology in a short scenario-response task, identify at least two trusted adults in my specific context (home and school), and state one situation in which I would tell a trusted adult.

Band B
Earth Dragons
G3–4ages 8–10
Know

Consent means clear, freely-given agreement to what is happening — a 'yes' that is not a result of pressure, confusion, or fear of what will happen if the answer is 'no'.+1 more

Understand

Everyone has a right to say yes or no, and healthy relationships honour that right every time, not only when the person asking feels like it.

Do

I can complete a written scenario analysis identifying whether consent was freely given, unclear, or overridden by pressure, and describe what a clear request, a clear answer, and a help-seeking response sound like.

Band C
Fire Dragons
G5–6ages 10–12
Know

Consent applies beyond sexual contexts — borrowing belongings, physical touch, taking or sharing photos, and forwarding messages all require agreement.+2 more

Understand

Consent is the same principle across every kind of interaction, not a special rule for one area — which means it shows up in everyday choices, not only in big moments.

Do

I can complete a scenario-response task that applies consent reasoning to non-sexual, physical, and online scenarios, and state a specific clear boundary to a peer in a structured roleplay.

Band D
Metal + Light Dragons
G7–8ages 12–13
Know

Power imbalance occurs when one person has more age, status, role authority, peer-group standing, or control over outcomes than the other — and those imbalances affect how freely a 'yes' or 'no' can be given.+2 more

Understand

Power and pressure affect what feels possible to say, not just what is technically allowed — and recognising the dynamic is part of being able to refuse, exit, or help someone else do either.

Do

I can complete a written analysis of a pressure scenario that names the specific power or peer-pressure dynamics at play, states a refusal and a prepared exit plan in direct language, and describes how I would support a peer to access confidential help.

Band E
Stone Dragons
G9–10ages 14–16
Know

Legal consent thresholds (jurisdiction-appropriate): age of consent in Hungary is 14 (with specific conditions); grooming is recognised in Hungarian criminal law; image-based abuse laws apply to non-consensual sharing.+3 more

Understand

Consent exists in legal, ethical, and relational dimensions that do not always align — understanding where they diverge, and whose interests are protected in each, is part of sophisticated consent literacy.

Do

I can complete a written analysis of a coercion, grooming, or exploitation scenario (online or institutional) that applies the relevant legal framework, evaluates the institutional context, and drafts a non-directive, trauma-aware response to a friend disclosing a similar situation.

Band F
Sky Dragons
G11–12ages 16–18
Know

Myths commonly requiring correction in consent education include: 'silence means yes'; 'if they didn't say no, it was consent'; 'once given, always given'; 'clothing or drinking signals consent'; 'asking for consent kills the mood.'+2 more

Understand

Consent education is not a one-time lesson but an ongoing cultural practice — and people who understand it well are positioned to model, teach, and protect it in the communities they belong to.

Do

I can facilitate a rubric-assessed 20-minute structured discussion about consent, power, and boundaries with peers or younger students that applies age-appropriate language, surfaces and corrects at least two common myths using evidence, and closes with a rights-based framing.
