Abstract:
A recent survey of the social values of year twelve students, their parents, and their teachers, in schools in metropolitan Adelaide chosen to represent the general school population, has indicated distinct differences between the value systems of people from active Christian families, and those who profess no faith.


Surprisingly, the survey also revealed that student social values are independent of the type of school attended. In particular, there was no detectable difference between students from secular or Christian schools, regardless of the school's "social position".
