This year our ethics teachers teach from the 2017 curriculum. This is our ‘odd year’ curriculum which is undergoing review, including feedback from ethics teachers, since it was last taught in 2015. Each stage of the curriculum is taught in
alternate years, so that no child repeats a topic in their seven years of ethics classes.
RECOGNISING RETIREES
With 25% of our volunteers now over 60, we recognise the contribution of retirees and grandparents to ethics education. This has been recognised in the media recently too!

ACTIVIST? DIPLOMAT? WHAT’S YOUR STYLE?
The Ethics Centre seeks testers for a new decision-making app named Waymaker, that guides users though an ethical decision making process and gives them insight into what their ethical position is.
We are supporting our school communities by keeping volunteers at home this term and offering families a digital program instead. Our volunteers will be back in classrooms as soon as education and health experts allow, which we expect to be early in Term 3 (perhaps late July or early August). Volunteer applications are still welcomed, and our volunteer training is now available online. Please see our Education page to access our digital lessons, which are shorter variations of our classroom lessons and suited to children at home.
