For students enrolled in ethics classes in years 1 & 2, classes are to resume week 5, Thursday 27 February.

Currently, students in kindergarten, years 3, 4, 5 & 6 have been placed on a waitlist for ethics as we seek volunteers to provide ethics lessons for all the families who have requested them. They will be supervised by a classroom teacher in a ‘meaningful activities’ class until a volunteer is recruited.

Do you have half an hour a week? Volunteer as an ethics teacher!

In ethics lessons, students explore everyday issues suitable for their age. They learn to think and listen carefully, to make decisions backed by good reasons and evidence, to discuss and disagree without putdowns.

As an ethics teacher, you’ll get a lot out of it too! You don’t need past teaching experience. Primary Ethics offers full, free training, lesson scripts and ongoing teaching support. 

Children discuss topics such as:

- how should we treat living things?

- what is laziness?

- how do we disagree in a respectful way?

- what is fairness?
