This chapter tells the story of how one school took up the challenge to embed Values Education in all classroom programs. In particular it focuses on the vision and activities of the principal and the ways the teachers have embraced Values Education in their work. It outlines the introduction of Values Education in the school and the principal’s theorising underpinning this work. Today, the work of all teachers in the school is imbued with Values Education and this chapter presents and critiques examples of this work.
