Abstract
This chapter reports on the values education programmes of three school clusters operating within the Australian Government’s Values Education programme. It argues that a central outcome of the schools’ values education programmes is a new mode of knowledge. Depending on the particular approach to values education taken in the cluster and its component schools, this new mode of knowledge could relate to self-knowledge, to a different perception of companions, to a renewed vision of the adjacent human and natural environment or a combination of these. In keeping with the theme of this final section of the handbook, Values Education: Wellbeing and Social Engagement, the chapter argues that this new knowledge is not solely intellectual and academic, but related to wellbeing, sociability and sustainability.
