Civics and Citizenship

Civics and Citizenship aims to ensure that students develop:

  • a lifelong sense of belonging to, and engagement with, civic life as an active and informed citizen in the context of Australia as a secular democratic nation with a dynamic, multicultural and multi-faith society
  • knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the values, principles, institutions and practices of Australia’s system of democratic government and law, and the role of the citizen in Australian government and society
  • skills necessary to investigate contemporary civics and citizenship issues, and foster responsible participation in Australia’s democracy
  • the capacities and dispositions to participate in the civic life of their nation at a local, regional and global level.
