Swan Hill Christian School acknowledges and is thankful to God for the privilege and opportunity to exist in a democratic society. We are committed to teaching and equipping students with the skills and values necessary to contribute effectively and responsibly to the building of a more just and compassionate society in Australia. We support and promote the principles and practice of Australian democracy in accordance with Australian law. We understand that this includes respect for the authority of the elected government as ordained by God; the rule of law; equal rights for all; freedom of religion, freedom of speech and association. We are committed to valuing and respecting each individual person, endeavoring to make every effort to live peacefully with all people in Australia regardless of their gender, faith, race or culture.
