Ethics Teacher Wanted
Primary Ethics provides the opportunity for NSW public primary school students who don’t attend
scripture classes (SRE) to participate in philosophical ethics classes.
We are looking for additional ethics teachers to be ready for 2019.
Classes are on Tuesdays mornings for 30 minutes. The classes teach children how to approach ethical
issues and develop their capacity for considered moral judgement, which will enable them to respond
more thoughtfully to many of the problems and issues they will face in their lives. Volunteer Ethics
Teachers are trained to deliver our age-appropriate curriculum every week and to use the
accompanying learning and teaching materials. For more information, please contact: Tim Butcher
Ethics Coordinator for LCWPS [email protected] /0413 490 328
See attached flyer.
Calling the School Office
Please use the telephone for emergencies only.
All other matters can be emailed to the school, sent via the skoolbag app or sent to the classroom
teacher in writing.
The answer to many common enquires can be found on the school’s website, in the school newsletter
and on the skoolbag app. If you are having trouble downloading the Skoolbag app, please email the
school for assistance.

POSTER Volunteering as an Ethics Teacher with boy V4.docx - Version 4 15/03/2016
Ethics classes are an option for all NSW public school children (Kindy-Yr 6) as an alternative to scripture or supervised care. Interest in ethics classes is increasing however, without more volunteer Ethics Teachers some children will miss out.
NSW public primary schools urgently need parents, carers and the community to get involved and VOLUNTEER TODAY.
Ethics classes are free for public school students and
organised by the charity Primary Ethics, who are authorised
and approved by the NSW Government.
Volunteers usually commit to a 30 minute lesson each
week plus a little preparation time (during the school
term only). All Ethics Teachers are provided professional
training, engaging curriculum and ongoing support.
Teaching children ethics is fun, challenging and very rewarding, get
involved today!
Your local primary school needs your help…
