Programs for school-aged learners
Moral Courage
In partnership with Relationships Australia NSW, this program for secondary school students provides young people with the skills and capabilities to better navigate the challenging situations they face. This includes decision making skills, identifying and acting on their values and principles, perspective taking, curiosity and how to seek help and provide help for others.
Common Ground
Funded by a grant from Multicultural NSW, and in partnership with Courage to Care this program is in its early stages of development and research. It aims to encourage 16-18 year olds in NSW to identify and develop values and skills that support diversity and inclusiveness, counter discrimination and build supportive communities. These skills include open-mindedness, empathy, curiosity, critical thinking.
Secondary Ethics
In collaboration with the Menzies Foundation, AIME, Federation University and Good Wolf, we are developing resources for teachers to better teach the Ethical Understanding general capability, one of the seven general capabilities across Australian secondary education. Resources will be developed for teachers and tested and evaluated across a number of schools.
Ethics by Design: Leading New Futures
A free, one-term leadership program for Stage 5 students that builds ethical leadership, systems thinking and innovation skills. Students tackle real-world issues like racism through an inquiry-based group project, with a $20,000 prize awarded to the winning school. Now inviting schools to join the Term 4, 2025 pilot.
Primary Ethics
The lessons we learn as children help shape our fundamental values and principles, and the way we hold ourselves as adults in the world. That’s why, in 2010, we founded Primary Ethics – an independent charity providing ethics classes for primary school students in NSW.
