Sexting Assembly Plan for KS4

This secondary assembly resource, which engages with both the PSHE and citizen curriculum, allows a KS4 secondary teacher to focus on developing students’ awareness and understanding of the phenomena of ‘sexting’, the dangers of it and the importance of staying safe when using technology to communicate.

The assembly aims to provide awareness, advice and explanation about ‘sexting’ using an approach that treats students maturely whilst informing them of the dangers of this phenomenon.

Using the associated presentation, the assembly commences by defining and explaining to the students exactly what ‘sexting’ is and how it occurs.

The assembly then uses a genuine news story to illustrate that there are hidden dangers of ‘sexting’ that students ought be aware of.

The presentation continues with another real-life story, which highlights how rapidly, with modern communication technology, images and messages can go viral and cause situations to can get out of hand. It emphasizes the consequential emotional pressure that can occur as a result of someone ‘sexting’ for a bit of fun or in an attempt to gain the attention.

The presentation then provides the students with helpful guidelines of how to avoid ‘sexting’ and what to do should it happen to them.

Secondary school teachers will be able to use this idea for an assembly to give the students the information and awareness of the dangers of ‘sexting’ and the reasons why they should not engage in the activity. It also provides them with the ability to recognise if someone is a victim of ‘sexting’ and the appropriate actions to take.

A hard hitting and heart-breaking demonstration of how this sort of behaviour can affect young people can be seen in the following clip. it is a story told by a 15 year old girl, who took her own life a few weeks after posting the video.
