KISS Sexual Harassment Workshop

On Tuesday, 13 January, students at Parkside Studio College participated in an impactful Sexual Harassment Workshop, delivered by KISS and led by a phenomenal and engaging presenter. The sessions were carefully structured with all year groups. The sessions were split into two groups, one for Years 9 and 10 and one for Year 11, ensuring age-appropriate discussion and reflection. The workshop focused on helping students understand what sexual harassment is, why it is never acceptable, and how it can affect individuals both emotionally and socially. Through clear explanations, real-life examples and open discussion, students explored the importance of respect, personal boundaries and consent, as well as recognising inappropriate behaviour both in person and online. Emphasis was placed on speaking up, supporting others, and knowing where and how to seek help if they or someone they know feels uncomfortable or unsafe. The session encouraged confidence, awareness and responsibility, reinforcing the message that everyone has the right to feel safe, respected and heard within school and beyond.
