Statement of Democratic Principles

Mt Hira College is committed to the principles and practices of Australian democracy and
ensures that these values are actively promoted and embedded across all aspects of school
life.

We support and promote:
• Commitment to elected government
• The rule of law, applied fairly and consistently
• Equal rights for all individuals
• Freedom of religion
• Freedom of speech and expression, exercised respectfully
• Respect, inclusion and tolerance of diversity

These principles are embedded through our curriculum, student voice and leadership
opportunities, and the respectful relationships we foster across the College.
Mt Hira College is committed to ensuring that all members of the community understand
and uphold these democratic values in a safe, inclusive and supportive environment.
