An ethics-based complement to scripture in NSW primary schools.

There was a really interesting treatment of the ethics/philosophy in school question on ABC's Compass program last night: http://www.abc.net.au/compass/s2968581.htm

Several brilliant teachers shown working with really clever kids - inspiring stuff!
For those that missed it you can watch it either online, via iView or on Channel 24 Thursday 2:30pm
