Engaging the Disengaged
This project drew together schools in juvenile detention centres across
Australia. The focus of the project was to explore and implement
values education approaches with an emphasis on student resilience
and wellbeing within a positive and engaging whole school learning
environment.
Out of Apathy
This project sought to improve self-belief and community esteem
by implementing a series of self-discovery workshops built around
the performing and visual arts.
Resilience, Wellbeing and Learning
This project aimed to build student resilience and wellbeing and
improve academic and social outcomes through explicit and implicit
teaching of values.
Values through ICT and Philosophy
This project built a virtual community of learners and explored the
role of philosophical inquiry in unpacking values and exploring the
ways in which moral and ethical frameworks inform actions.
Living Values, Living Relationships
This project aimed to improve the explicit teaching and learning of
core values by engaging teachers and students in working with elders,
family and community members to develop their understanding and
practice of these values.
Transitions: Values-based Approaches
Successful transition from one class/school to another is crucial
to student wellbeing and success. Through the use of supportive
programs such as circle time, this project sought to create a supportive
community that enabled students to transition smoothly and
confidently throughout all levels of schooling.
Embedding Values Education through Service Learning
This project aimed to engender a sense of civic responsibility in young
people. It builds on the values education programs the cluster schools
were enacting and created unique values projects for each school
setting.
Values Investigators: Teachers and Students Researching
Values Together
This project sought to integrate values into the curriculum. Teachers
and students established a preschool to Year 10 values education
continuum and integrated service learning as an opportunity for
students to apply their values learning.
