Largs Bay Primary School in the southern city of Adelaide said the policy is aimed at grade six and seven students, aged 11 to 12.

Principal Julie Gail said the students were spoken to about "inappropriate behaviour" in boyfriend and girlfriend relationships in a meeting at the start of the new term last week.
