Recruitment toolkit - Primary Ethics

Here’s a basic recruitment toolkit to help in getting new volunteers. Many of these are editable by you to personalise with your school’s name and your contact details.

For parents, take a look at:

Place this into your school newsletter – a bit about what ethics lessons are and about our information sessions.
Why choose ethics for your child? written for kindergarten parents. Contact the Helpdesk to have print copies sent to you. Or print from this version.
Here’s a Powerpoint slide to show parents at Kindergarten orientation talks: Kindy slide.
Tell parents about our monthly webinars, all about ethics. Use this for school newsletters and websites about ethics and the info webinars. Here it is in pdf format.

You can edit a range of promotional squares in Canva, filling them with your school’s details. Please follow the instructions carefully, especially if you haven’t used Canva before. If you have any problems, contact us on communications at primaryethics.com.au for assistance.

What to do:

Click here which will take you to see all the designs. Scroll down and choose the one (or ones) you want to personalise.
Important! Click the + sign sitting on top of the image, it will duplicate one for you to use
Edit the duplicate, putting in your school name, day and time of lessons and contact details
Go to Share, top right, and then choose Download as a png or jpg, select the page number of your design and download
It’s best to download each image separately, if you’ve done more than one
When you are finished downloading, please delete the one you made, leaving the original for the next person
If you accidentally delete something, there’s an undo icon in the blue menu bar at top left.

A school principal and an ethics teacher tell us about the advantages ethics brings to their school and the children.

Volunteers and teachers talk about the benefits of an ethics program to students.
