parents. The reaction from parents and community leaders resulted in direct intervention by the NSW 
Government to prevent the film from being shown during school hours as a substitute to regular 
classes. 
“All of Us” eight week curriculum 
The “All of Us” educational resource is produced jointly by the SSCA and LGBTI youth organisation 
Minus18
. The program is designed to span over eight weeks, and to be used by teachers in years seven 
and eight. Students in those years are typically aged anywhere from eleven to fourteen (varying from 
state to state). Whilst the content contained within the program is similar in approach to the rest of 
the SSCA resources, it is worth examining more closely, since this program can be used by any school 
in Australia, regardless of whether they are a member of SSCA. 
ACL submits that this new resource is a source of sexualisation of children in NSW and throughout 
Australia. 
The material is designed to be used across the curriculum, with schools encouraged to:
…adapt and use the videos and teaching activities in other areas of the curriculum 
such as English, History, Humanities, Legal Studies, Civics and Citizenship, and applied 
learning curriculums
83
Prior to the introduction of the “All of Us” program, the SSCA material already contained a similar 
encouragement. Teachers were told: 
Whatever the subject, try to work out ways to integrate gender diversity and sexual 
diversity across your curriculum.
84
The unit guide for the resource states: 
All Of Us is a collection of short videos and teaching activities designed by Minus18 
and Safe Schools Coalition Australia in order to assist students in understanding 
gender diversity, sexual diversity and intersex topics.
The All Of Us resource supports the Health and Physical Education learning area of the 
Australian Curriculum.
85
 
The Australian curriculum achievement standards, which this program purports to address, are 
included in the unit guide as the following: 
Relevant Year 7 and 8 Achievement Standards
By the end of Year 8, students investigate strategies and resources to manage changes
