Values in Action Schools Project

The Values in Action Schools Project (VASP) is an Australian Government initiative in which clusters of schools have been funded to design, implement and evaluate the outcomes of high quality values education projects. The VASP builds on the work previously undertaken by schools since the National Framework for Values Education in Australian Schools was instigated in 2005 and the findings from this project will provide guidance to all Australian schools on using good practice values education outcomes for the long-term benefit of the whole school community.

The successful VASP clusters projects have now completed their work and a final report of the outcomes from their activities is now being written.
