Primary Ethics

Primary Ethics Providing world-class philosophical ethics education for primary school children. Don’t let your children miss out!

45,000 children currently participate in ethics classes and demand is growing rapidly as more parents choose ethics and benefit from seeing their children developing excellent reasoning and critical thinking skills. If your school is not offering ethics classes, it is a very simple process for you to get them started. Write to your school today - ask for ethics classes* Register your interest with Primary Ethics* Become a Primary Ethics volunteer teacher or coordinator* Talk to your friends and family about volunteering* Ask people in your local community to volunteer Ethics classes provide children with fundamental skills in critical thinking, logical reasoning and debate. They learn to disagree respectfully, to challenge ideas and to support their arguments with considered evidence rather than according to habit or peer pressure. They use these skills within the class to discuss ethical issues and consider decisions that affect them, their family and friends and the rest of the world.The world class Primary Ethics curriculum is tailored by age so that matters under discussion are relevant to your children and their world.The skills they acquire accompany them into adulthood.

Mary-Louise, our coordinator at Ulladulla and Milton Public Schools and an ethics teacher at Milton, recently received her five-year pin and certificate.

She’s also been a wonderful advocate for Primary Ethics across the South Coast — from speaking on the radio and writing for a local publication to getting out into the community and helping spread the word about ethics education.

Thank you, Mary-Louise, for all the energy, enthusiasm and commitment you bring to Primary Ethics.
And a shoutout to Teigan, also at Milton, for presenting Mary-Louise with her award!

Here’s to five years — and many more to come!

Coffee, conversation and celebration!

About half of the Summer Hill Public School ethics team caught up over coffee on the day of their lessons a couple of weeks ago — with lots of volunteering milestones to celebrate along the way.

It’s always lovely to see ethics teachers take a moment to connect, share stories and recognise the years of commitment that go into bringing ethics lessons to children each week.
Thanks to the Summer Hill team for all that you do — and for sharing the photo!

L–R: Katherine , Joanna, Tracy, Alison(formerly also coordinator), Rachel, Andrew and Adele .

A special moment for the Strathfield North Public School ethics team!
As part of the mid-September school assembly, members of the team were presented with their volunteering pins and certificates, with their contribution acknowledged by the P&C Secretary.
It was a lovely reminder to the wider community of the people who make ethics lessons possible — and of the important role these weekly conversations play in children’s learning.

Congratulations to David , coordinator and teacher, on 5 years of volunteering, and to Mukesh and Benjamin on reaching 3-year milestones.
Thank you all for the time, commitment and care you bring to your ethics classes each week.

Exciting things are happening in the New England area!

Two University of New England academics with PhDs in philosophy are part of the Armidale team of volunteers, teaching at their local primary school. Simon has volunteered for 7 years, and Felicity 2 years.

Also, a few weeks ago, Armidale regional manager Denise addressed over 100 attendees before the monthly Skeptics in the Pub event, promoting Primary Ethics, and received several expressions of interest in volunteering.

Thanks for all your work in the regions team!

If there’s one team photo we know we can count on receiving at the end of every term, it’s the Iron Cove area catch-up!

It makes us so happy to see these teams making time to get together every term. These catch-ups are about more than just dinner – they’re a chance to connect, share stories and celebrate the wonderful work they do in their schools.

The Drummoyne and Russell Lea Public School teams recently caught up for their Term 3 dinner.
Here’s to good food, good company and strong volunteer connections!
