Category:Values Learning Quests  Online games & activities 

A serious cyber bullying epidemic is infecting kids across Australia. Luckily there is a cure. This is a campaign 'by kids for kids', addressing the audience not from an adult authoritative perspective, but a peer-to-peer behaviour awareness perspective. By providing a safe and fun interactive game space for primary aged kids to identify in themselves their own behaviours, they can then choose to take a stand and pledge their commitment to stamping out cyberbullying by pickling their Bullies Virus. In addition to the website SchoolAid has engaged education experts at Macquarie University's Institute of Early Childhood to develop 'Springboards to Philanthropy' - a set of tools and ideas you can use in the classroom to support values education and philanthropic development within your curriculum. These resources have been designed and written to align to relevant areas of the curriculum so that you can seamlessly and easily build values education into your daily teaching practice.
