There's a reputation among a lot of single sex private schools in WA in how they teach this differently. I have no idea how true this is now, but I remember my mother (who did her BEd while I was in high school) being disgusted by the differences other teachers were telling her about.

For the girl schools they tend to be rather thorough with making sure the girls know a lot about avoiding pregnancies and STI's for the reason you mentioned.

The boys schools (and this was certainly true of the boys I dated from private schools) they weren't taught shit all. It wasn't something that reflected on the school badly if these boys had poor attitudes towards women and sexual health

Of course, given at least one of these schools has since been busted with 13yearold girls selling porn tapes of themselves to the boys at the private boy schools, hopefully this attitude has been shaken up a bit more (interestingly in that case I remember it was the boys school that caught on and acted fastest about that situation).
