19. Our solution
Create a student code of ethics
[designed by students for students] that
will encourage the right types of
behaviour and actions in Somerville
students. This code of ethics will have
a huge impact in our school and will go
along way to solve the day to day
problems some of us face.
Wednesday, 23 November 11
22. Why ethics
Ethics are woven into everything we do.
In any given moment we are either
acting ethically or unethically. Ethics
are like virtues/morals in that they
define how we live our lives and can
powerfully impact the lives of those
around us.
Wednesday, 23 November 11
23. What are ethics?
Ethics are related to human action.
They define what is right and wrong.
Ethics seek to define good behaviour
and what should be valued.
Wednesday, 23 November 11
24. The difference between laws
and ethics
Laws are written, approved and enforced by
the government. They are clear and usually
logical.
Ethics are like rules of conduct. They are
actions closely related to morals and virtues
that society believes it should have. Break an
ethic and you will likely face disapproval from
your peers, family and/or the community.

25. Cyber Safety
Part of our solution to
some of the dangers
we face in an
increasingly cyber
world was to create a
series of educational
videos aimed at
keeping ourselves safe
online.
