Supporting young students through their every day challenges builds resilience, enables leadership, encourages thankfulness and much more. In fact, these values help shape lives and enhance the support of wellbeing for children and the wider school community.
Values that build confidence, respect for others and self, as well as those that help develop and strengthen interpersonal skills and relationships help create brighter futures which is why YouthCARE invests in Christian Values Education. CVE programs are provided to Western Australian public schools through Church funding.
Christian Values Education (CVE) is a program run by YouthCARE in West Australian public schools that explores values from a faith perspective. Our goal is to support kids as they explore values and beliefs from a faith perspective, through lessons involving games, drama and activities.
To best support each school’s specific needs, CVE is delivered in 2 formats: Lunch Time and Class Time for 30 minutes, once a week and is offered free of charge to state Primary Schools.
CVE is a valuable addition to primary schools’ support of wellbeing in their community and here at YouthCARE, we are proud to offer a program that:
Aligns with the 9 values for Australian Schooling
Enables students to reflect on their own lives, their interactions with others and their communities
Leverages a breadth of trusted and authoritative sources – The Christian Values Education program uses curriculum called ‘Everyday Matters’ developed by YouthCARE, involving WA School Principals and support by the Department of Education
