Project proposal summary
The BEACHVALE Cluster Project aims to develop and implement values in student social skills by integrating values education in the Middle Years into all key learning areas to ease the transition to secondary school and to facilitate interactions between students and staff. It will build on the technological skills of the students to design a multimedia presentation which will present our values, our practices and our programs as leading practice in values education. This will culminate in the publication of common values, units of work and student ‘photo stories’ on the web.
The B.E.A.C.H.V.A.L.E. (Brighton Environment Action Community Helpers Values Education) Cluster has created a website to showcase student outcomes of the project.
